Some people claim that the third year of law school is "easy" - let me just dispel this rumor right now. IT'S NOT. I'm taking some of the hardest classes I've ever taken, and I'm overwhelmed with thoughts of planning a huge move, finding a job, and, oh yeah, passing the bar exam in July.
Normally when I'm stressed, I exercise more. I have been STRUGGLING. I've blown off more workouts in the last 3 weeks than I have in a long time. I'm still eating super healthy, which is great, but I need to get back in my workout groove.
Here's how I'm doing it:
1. A few new workout outfits. This sounds SO silly, but for me, the motivation of pulling on some awesome new workout pants or a workout top and feeling good about how I look WHILE working out is sort of powerful. Nothing crazy - just a couple new things. One of my favorite websites, Marika, recently had a 50% off everything sale, so I picked up some stuff!

2. A few new workout dvds. Trying a new workout is always fun for me - the time goes by faster, and I have some new stuff to add to my rotation. There were a few Jillian Michaels dvds on Groupon for $5.99 that I picked up, and LivingSocial did a deal on a Barre3 package (I think 5-6 dvds?) that I also purchased. I'm thinking of getting a Brooke Burke cardio dvd that's $6 on Amazon, but I'll wait until I get bored again.
3. A new workout gadget! For Christmas, Justin bought me a FitBit. This thing is SO cool! It tracks your daily steps like a pedometer, but it also tracks number of flights of stairs, your active minutes, calories burned, and sleep. I've also been using the FitBit dashboard to track food intake and active minutes it doesn't catch (like weightlifting). This thing is keeping me seriously motivated - it's always on my wrist so it's impossible to forget about.
