In preparation for our big cruise in August, Josh & I are attempting to get in shape.We've kind of just given up on exercise since we've been married. We didn't want to waste money on a gym membership, plus we both enjoy exercising outdoors. We have a lovely view of the Y from our teeny tiny balcony and we both thought hiking that every other day would for sure help us tone. Last summer, Josh, me & his brothers Matt & Garrett hiked the "Y". I was so out of shape, I couldn't make it to the top! Matt and Garrett laugh at me to this day, but I can officially say I have fully hiked the "Y" more than both of them! Today Josh & I hiked it for our 8th time.. and we made our 1st record time.... dun dun dun... 40 minutes! Altogether there are 12 switchbacks and its a really steep hike. After we hike to the top, we run the whole way down. Its a good cardio work out and I feel so good! I am so much happier, I sleep better, and my body just feels healthier. My main goal is to get rid of some gross cellulite, and tone my body. I don't want to wear any shorts over my swim suit in Mexico. What's the fun of that? I want to be able to walk up to the huge all-you-can-eat buffet and not feel guilty. I want to enjoy the cruise and be comfortable just laying out in front of thousands of people in a swim suit. You may think we are being "self-consicous" but, whats so wrong with wanting to get in healthy habits?We're SO excited to be on a BEACH soon!!!!!!!
