My Love/Hate Relationship

*Disclaimer: I do not think I need to lose weight, nor do I think that I am not skinny.

I have a love/hate relationship with working out.  I love feeling more energized and being more toned and in shape when I do work out.  I hate knowing that I am going to have to force myself to work out until I get into a routine.  And even once I get into a routine, sometimes things come up that somehow seem more important than getting sweaty.  Now granted, I have done dance from the time I was 3 up through college and, to me, dancing is not working out even though it gives you one of the best workouts you will ever have in your life.  Unfortunately, trying to find a dance class on campus that works with my school and work schedule has been pretty impossible which has been really frustrating for me.  Then why not get a gym pass, you ask?  Because I do not have the money for a gym pass.  (I will gladly take donations though.)  Therefore, I am stuck with the workout videos of Denise Austin, Billy Blanks and Buns of Steel.  Nothing against them.  I'd just rather be dancing.

Despite my love/hate relationship with working out, this morning I woke up ready to go.  I cleaned the entire house and then thought, 'well, I am sweaty and smelly anyway' and pulled out my workout videos and became more sweaty and smelly.  Thank goodness for showers.  But bottom line, I am writing this post because I know that if other people know that I am trying to work out, then I feel accountable to them, even if they never say anything to me about it via blog comment or in person comment.  Wish me luck!
