After over a week of being SO incredibly sick (first time all school year I have been) I got my butt out of bed, and said to myself, "I'm actually going to accomplish something today."
I FINALLY GOT TO WORK OUT.
No lie, it was pretty pathetic.
BUT nonetheless... I got to have a super fun time doing it!
So what I did was I hiked up to the Pete with Mavis after layering on what felt like 20 extra pounds of clothing, and we braced ourselves for the 90 degree angle incline up to the gym. Plus the 6,000 steps to even just get inside. Ugh.
But still, I was excited - not to mention this is my favorite class Pitt's Healthy U program offers. We signed up for a Zumba class so every Sunday we have an excuse to leave the apartment and be active.
Our instructor is just really cool, and doesn't make you feel like whatever you're doing is weird or wrong. She makes the class pretty easy going, which is refreshing after some experiences I've had in these types of classes.
I knew most of the dances since I took her class last semester too, and when it was time for abs, I couldn't stop singing Bruno Mars' Uptown Funk. It totally worked with getting me pumped to crunch those things I want so badly to call my abs. So catchy I must say.
I'm really looking forward to more classes with her, because she makes us work every muscle in our body- and enough to make you walk out in your own pool of sweat. Again, my attempt at being healthier starts with a little bit of exercise most days of the week.
Now cycling, I'm not too sure about. We'll see on Tuesday how that goes... (if I live to write about it afterwards).
Later, it was time for my favorite way to end the week (I'm totally unbiased I swear) the Her Campus meeting!
My lovely co-CC rockin' her HC spirit jersey!
It's definitely going to be weird next year not being in HC. It's such a huge part of my life right now, and has been for the past four years.
Okay, back to the present. I liked having meeting in a circle because I just feel like it's more interactive and less intimidating for everyone.
And then, my stomach was yelling at me. Probably too many crunches than it could handle for the day, of course. What better way to shut your stomach up than with pizza?
LOL whoops.
Okay I didn't say my eating habits were perfected yet. But at 10pm what else is there to eat?
Now tomorrow, I'll get to eat better because I can actually start cooking now that my sicky sickness has calmed down a bit. Unfortunately that still doesn't mean I'm getting as much sleep as I should be...
Before I wrap this blog up, let me just give a big thanks to one of my best friends from home Hannah for texting me until 5am about life and college and everything. I love ya girl.
PSA for everyone, cherish your friendships, especially if they're the ones you know are meant to last a lifetime. It's important to know you can reach out to someone when you need it most.
Ta ta for now babes.
Xx
