Another Try

My goal at the beginning of the year was to start exercising. Well, 4 months later I finally made it to the gym yesterday. I just started with the elliptical machine for 30 minutes. Well, I actually set it at 35 minutes but couldn't make those 5 extra mins. It was torture! I've walked around our neighborhood a few times and never had felt like that before. Also, when I used to go to the gym (like over 3 years ago!), I would see people doing it reverse, like they were walking backwards. I honestly thought that was the stupidest thing. Why would anyone do that? Well, that stupid elliptical tried to make me do it...I couldn't! I wanted to cry! It was like medieval torture machine. It kept trying to force me to do every few minutes, but I would force it to do the regular way because I would try it and then give up. I don't think my body was ready for that. Let me build up to it.

I did taebo today. I'm so uncoordinated but I gave it a try. I was sweating at the end.

I'm going to try to do this losing weight thing right. My biggest obstacle is eating right. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a terrible eater. I hate veggies and hardly eat any fruit. I've gotta do better. When the year started, I wanted to look fine and hot for the beach. Now I just want to look decent in a bathing suit, without my belly sticking out.

I think I'll post a weekly report with my weight and measurements for the whole world to see (though I'm not sure who still checks out my blog since I haven't been consistently updating it). But that's what I'll do. Thankfully I have a good friend who I can be accountable to. Unfortunately, she's on the other side of town. I wish we could meet up and workout together. But we'll make do and inspire each other to get moving. I'll post a daily update of my exercise and how I feel afterwards. Hope you'll join me on this journey. I'll post my stats later.
