It's August and I'm ready to roll! I have a bunch of stuff to update on, and the majority of it needs to go in my other blog (thisiskellyraeineurope.blogspot.com). I'll try to get to that today. I've been home a little over a week now and let me tell you, my time in Europe was amazing. I won't say too much, but I will promise to update the blog later.
I printed out the Blogilates workout calendar for this month and I did the workout that I thought was supposed to be for today but was actually for last week. That's okay though because I still got a really good workout. I feel really pumped. I'm a little late getting started on working out, but I don't care that much. I have three weeks left in this month, and I think I will get a good workout either way. I just have to keep pushing.
I ended up skipping all the five minute workouts that I had planned. However, due to the millions of stairs we climbed (St. Paul's has 528 steps), I got my calves nice and toned and I actually lost five pounds while I was over there. My new goal is to keep those five pounds off, if possible, and to continue working out and eating well. The eating well part is still a challenge because I have a limited amount of money and my dad keeps using the food I buy to make other meals.
Now that I'm starting my new job today, I will be able to get the food that I want and hopefully cook the meals I want/need to work on my body without interference. Yes, I have a job. I just got hired at Bed, Bath & Beyond and I couldn't be more excited. No, it's not my dream job, but it's a job and I will soon have an income. I can still look for other work that fits my field if I feel the need to. I'm just glad I found something when I got back. I thought I would have to search for a few more weeks before I found something. Honestly, I'm okay with settling for this. My plan is to be here for a year while I work on preparing for graduate school.
So far, this week is going great. I have high hopes for August.
Here we go!
