OMG! Let me start by saying this was the hardest workout I've done in more than 10 years. I was so tired afterward, so out of breath, that I couldn't even type my blog post! I learned 2 things about myself. 1) I am WAY more out of shape than I originally thought, and 2) I need to eat a whole lot better. I must if I plan on completing this challenged w/out passing out. While I kinda felt like a punk for resting so much, I am still extremely proud of myself for starting it. I plan to walk a few days after school to help supplement the cardio so that I don't always feel like I am going to die while I'm doing the workout. Some of my fellow teachers said they would be interested in walking after school; I'll find out this week if they really meant it. I am also going to go to the store to buy fresh fruit and more snacks to make sure that I can get through the day and have enough fuel in my body. I would like to buy an exercise mat to put on this hard floor, but I would rather have a few more workouts under my belt to make sure that I am not going to flake out and waste my money. Although, for $156 I BETTER do this workout twice!
I feel exhausted, but I feel better already. Mentally, it is doing wonders. Also, to hear my husband say how proud of me he was and to see the look on his face really helped. I really value his opinion, plus I think I may have motivated him to do it with me. So here officially begins my journey...50lbs in 50 weeks. I know that I can do this. I just have to stay focused. For the record, starting weight is 202lbs. Pics soon to follow.
Until next time....
