Gym:
2 lap warm up
some small sets up side jogging
I RAN A WHOLE LAP WITH OUT STOPPING
jump and jacks
sit-ups
crunches
and I did the step stepper (that was hard)
I felt really good leaving the gym and felt like I could have done more. Plan on starting a weekly work out that was given to me.
Thoughts
I still cannot seem to stop looking in the mirror and being upset. I look at myself and say "wow how did I get here, and why has it taken so long to actually do something about it". I want to be able to actually wear most the clothes in my closet, I am tired of jeans and t-shirts. But I don't feel good and anything else, I don't feel like I look even half way descent in other types of cloths. I see these large women wearing dresses and nice outfits and I just cannot bring myself to wear them. I hate the way you can tell that I am fat, you see my fat. I know that it takes time to see results, and I am at that point were I am like "I don't see results, what is the point of taking time to workout, it's not doing anything". Even though I feel this way I am going to keep going. They say if you do something for 30 days start it becomes a habit. Well 3 days down, 27 more days to go with Thanksgiving to face.
Well I am hoping to make it to the gym today, I have a late class and work, but if I don't make it to the gym then I will have to just pull out the wii and use one of the exercise games I have at home.
Till tomorrow....
I am a strong women and I can do this, I can lose this weight!
You CAN do it.
ReplyDeleteBut, your self image is important, too. You are valuable, and beautiful, and the number on the label is not as important as how you feel in your clothes, and essentially in your own skin. God made you the way you are for a reason. If you have gained weight, maybe it's to teach you how to be healthy for the future.. I don't know.
Don't look at it as "I HAVE to lose weight." Approach working out from a "I really just want to be healthy" perspective and it will help keep your spirits up and it will be easier to maintain your motivation.
I know I wrote this in my blog - but still, maybe it could help you, too.
