Yeah Me!!

I have been struggling for sometime to get back on some sort of exercise routine. I get one day in and I'm like I can't do this everyday. I've been told it takes 14 days to make a habit stick and takes only 1 day to break it. This can be applied to anything we try to do. Then I told myself maybe my motivator for working out, isn't what it should be. Typically, my mindset is to lose weight and get down to a certain weight loss goal, however this time around I'm thinking about my health. I want to make my lungs and heart stronger. I want to have more energy again! But hey, I'm not going to say losing some pounds would hurt. I'd love to get to my goal weight, but I got to start with baby steps.

I had thought for awhile about creating a competition so to speak with a few friends, to make it a little more worth my while, added motivation so to speak. Then it occurred to me I don't know which friends of mine would seriously put forth the effort to do it. I guess I won't know unless I ask, but right now I'm going at it alone. I have a set goal of where I want to be come the end of the year, granted that is a few months down the road yet. But like I said you gotta start somewhere.

I just bought some Zumba dvd's to do in the comforts of my home and it came with a fitness plan and an order of how you should do the exercises. That has been fun. I've done it 3 days now and according to the plan today is my day of rest. Then I'm back on for 3 more days and off again. This plan is only a 3 wk plan and I'm sticking with it. I will see where I'm at at the end of the month. Now that the weather is getting cooler, I will be able to walk/run outside and not die from heat exhaustion. I know that there are different classes offered at school which I will have to look into and see what interests me. Otherwise, I'm well on my way to where I want to be. I just got to stick with it!
