2012 Goals Part 1: Gym Time

So I've been going to an MMA gym for their U-Fit class since November. Even though this membership is a bit more expensive than a regular gym I definitely prefer U-Fit. When I started in mid November I drove the half mile down the street to the gym, had no more muscle ton, and couldn't even come close to doing a push-up. Now, about 2 months later, I can jog to the gym taking about 10 minutes, I haven't tried lately but I'm pretty sure I can do at least 1 full push-up, I jog back from the gym and I have some muscle ton back, in my arms at least. I know a half mile in 10 minutes is not a big deal for some, but for a girl that hasn't done much exercising since she was 21, that's a pretty big feat.

I haven't lost any weight yet, but I"m pretty sure that's because I eat crappy food all the time. However, my goal for this month is to start eating healthier. The coach today told my co-worker and I that his goal for us this month is to lose 5 lbs and be able to do a hand stand push-up. YIKES! That seems like a daunting task but I'm willing to put my best efforts into getting this accomplished. With going to the gym 3-4 times a week and eating healthier I'm sure I'll be back in good shape in no time at all.
