I've been working out steadly for about three weeks now. I was hit with horrible neck pain yesterday and felt it was wise to not work out. Normally the weekends are my off days, unless I want to throw cardio in. I'm sure more cardio will happen now that the weather is cooling off, yay! Instead of skipping a workout today, I had the urge...yes the urge, to work out. And I did! I felt so good about it too.
I went a little softer on my body. Thanks to Jillian's Beginner Shred, I started level 2 this week. I went with that 30 min exersice today and it was so freeing.
Tending to go strong for the first few weeks, I am recongizing that I will come upon a time when I will say "I'll do this tomorrow." For good reasons that statement may come up, but it doesn't have to repeat. I have the strength to push forward and the drive. Not to mention support and a cardio buddy...love you Mom!
When I question why am I wanting to lose 30 pounds it's not just to be generically "healthy". It's so much more. I want to have more energy and focus at work, more creativity when I am in my art studio, the confiendece to go binkin and jean shopping, easier time finding jeans, lower my chance of heart disease, and in the future to have a nice toned body that I want to feel more than proud of. The ability to inspire others that they can do this too!! I want to be that person rooting for another because I've been there too, in fact I am doing that already.
Life will get chaotic, but it gets worse when your health isn't well. Push forward, it's no fun being on repeat or stuck on the same scene in life.
