Today is day 5 on my fitness journey. It’s been tough. I like my snacks…I like my sweets…and I like a lot of them. I like second helpings too. Somewhere along the line of becoming an adult I thought “Hey, this is great, I can eat what I want now!” Instead of 2 chocolates, a whole bag while the hubs and I vegged out on the couch. Not a handful of chips…half a bag. Somewhere too, I stopped eating veggies and stopped drinking water and stopped eating fruit – and I love fruit! I don’t know what happened.
4 days ago I began the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. Today I can barely straighten my arms – HA! I have been trying to do two workouts a day – the Shred and my Bellydance Tribal Fusion DVD with Rachel Brice…it incorporates bellydance and yoga. It’s been great though – I can feel my muscles waking up (Even though they say “I don’t want to!! Let me sleep!”). I’ve been making better choices when eating, thanks to My Fitness Pal too. I want this and I’m not going to stop – it helps that my kids like to “exercise” with me as well.
I’ve been weighing myself everyday, but our scale outright sucks…and I’ve decided to wait until Saturday to weigh in again. I won’t be disappointed if I don’t see any progress. I love that my kids are interested in what we are doing – I keep telling Little Magoo that I am exercising to be healthy and eating healthy foods too. I hope that my whole family can get on track and live a much healthier lifestyle than we have been. I want to live a long healthy life and feel good about my body, inside and out.
