Make time for yourself!

I've been working out at The Inner Athlete off and on for over a year. The Inner Athlete is a private fitness studio and the cost is a bit more than what I'm used to paying as a member of 24 Hour Fitness. I can assure you that the level of service and fitness experience at The Inner Athlete is not at all like 24 Hour. And that's a great thing! In my previous position, I couldn't always make the classes or I was too tired to workout.

Last summer, I left that job and was unemployed. Funny thing...now I'm off work and couldn't always afford to attend classes at The Inner Athlete. In fact, I cancelled my 24 Hour membership.

With time on my hands, I told myself I have NO excuse to not workout. With my hiking group, Black Girls Run chicks, and #keepupwithalondra challenges, I had an arsenal of fitness activities to busy myself. I had time for those 7am weekday walks at Lake Chabot or to meet a hiking buddy for a Tuesday morning hike. I also committed to utilizing the gym in my complex. Alondra's challenges in many instances required use of the gym...(insert groan, here). The gym and all of the equipment scares me. I'd rather walk, hike, or use my light weights and bands at home and call it a day!  Ultimately, I made the time to get my activity in for the day.  After all, I did have a goal of rocking a 2-piece swimsuit in Hawaii, which was fast approaching.
