JUNE! Already a week in, and I've been dithering, again, about my goals. But here they are:
- Physical. After the success of the May challenge, I'm feeling pretty good. I got a free subscription to Women's Health and, although I have reservations about this publication (given that "health" seems to mean losing weight and getting cut, which seems to be a pretty narrow definition of health), I thought it might provide inspiration for shaking up my exercise routine. And, of course, it has! Given my knacky knee, I liked the idea of cutting out regular cardio for what she calls a "metabolic" workout - you do a set of weight-bearing exercise intervals twice a week, plus three overall strength routines, and a HIIT (high intensity interval training) run - basically a mix of sprinting and recovery. I've been doing those in May, and honestly, my fitness has improved incredibly quickly, and my knee doesn't feel any worse than if I do a long, slow jog/walk, so I'd rather have an efficient way to get myself fit that I actually really enjoy, even if I feel like vomiting afterward. No, really, it's fun. Promise!
- Cultural. It's summer time! Take advantage of summer stuff! Basically, I want to get to the BBG and Brooklyn museum at least once each during June.
- NB: I am now FOUR books behind on my reading, so the hour at home, three times a week, is back ON. ON, I tell you.
