Metaphorical rapids of life I mean. Winter in Boston is fickle and confusing (it was 60º F today...) and even with this relatively mild winter I found that being overly specific about what training when was stressful. Since that's a surefire way to make me avoid things, I'm not toruring myself. If it's snowing, I can do body-weight and yoga in my apartment. If it's not I can run and use barbells. And if my least favorite teacher is the zumba sub I can not go to that class. So there haha. 1. Dance/Yoga/Run 2x week 2. Strength train 2x week. Must do at least 3 different exercises for three sets to count. 3. Learn to squat and press with a barbell. This one makes me very nervous, but I've been wanting to try for a while. I just bought starting strength, so I'm going to try to start teaching myself and if that doesn't work out I'll fork over money to a trainer. 4. Accounting! My month theme is money, and I'm going to start logging my jewelry making hobby as if it was a business. It's going to be a terrible business, because I don't sell anything. But I want to learn about accounting, and doing helps. I have been taking online courses in accounting fundamentals, so I want to try applying some of the concepts to my life. Anyways between dodging life's river blocking boulders and doing things that scare me, this should be an interesting challenge.
