Germs...

I have turned into quite the germ-a-phobe since I started subbing in the school districts. I am constantly washing my hands or sanitizing. Every time I am in a school and I see a kid wipe his nose on his hand and the touch the door... my skin crawls. Walking down the hallways I see one kid after another openly coughing and spewing their germs everywhere.

That  is the one part of teaching that I am not ok with. They say that the first year of teaching you are just constantly sick. So far I am seeing that. It's tough being a sub, I am there a couple days and then gone a couple. Just that little bit of contact with the plethora of germs I have had 3 colds so far this year.

It puts a damper on "diet" things when I can't talk without coughing, but I am sticking to my eating habits even when I can't work out.

I am not trying to make excuses but finding a place to work out it tough for me. My bedroom is very small. I usually use my Wii to work out (Zumba, Just Dance, Wii Fit etc). I don't have work out equipment (elliptical,  bike, treadmill) I can't afford such equipment, and I don't have room for such equipment. It gets tough to work out in my room because there is such a small space.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't really care for working out in front of others. I have a window to work out on days that I am home alone. If I am working I get up and ready for work at 6:15 get off work at 3:30 get home around 4, then start dinner. Usually on work days I work I don't work out. I am moving around a lot when I work so I could that as my exercise.

I could move my Wii between upstairs and downstairs everyday.. But seriously "Ain't nobody got time for that".

Anyone want to start a donation fund for me to get a cheap gym membership?? ... Yeah... didn't think so.

  1. You don't need expensive machines. There are really great workouts on Youtube. I do an hour or so everyday. I like, "Tone it Up", "Bender Fitness", "inshape4u". Do the ski steps workout from inshape4u. It's pretty tough, but gets easier. Wii gets boring after awhile. YouTube has thousands of different videos, so you'll never get bored. Plus, it's free!
