I worked out VERY hard last night – to the point where aftwerwards my body was aching, sore and stiff. I did a 50 minute FIRM Cardio Sculpt video – which includes compex lunges, dips, squats with heavy weights, combined with cardio moves in between. Then I did 34 minutes averaging 3.9 mph uphill on the treadmill. It was very hard for me, especially since I am significantly overweight and have not exercised consistently since I hurt my hip in july. I hope I can keep this up.

Afterwards, I streteched and took a hot shower. My body was exhausted by the time I went to bed, and today I am feeling really tired (shouldn’t I feel exhilerated?) but the muscle soreness feels good. Especialy behind my shoulder blade, down my side and my hamstrings.

I just got back from my annual checkup where I told my doctor that in my view, my most serious health concern is my weight. That being true, I need to continue on my quest to improve my overall health and weight is a key factor.

I am still keeping up with my FitDay Journal so please take a look.

Wish me luck.

Today is the second day in a row where I have exercised for an hour.

I now remember now how good it feels when I work out so hard and my muscles tremble and my eyes are stinging with sweat. WHY then is it so difficult to keep doing this all the time? I guess I will try to capture this feeling and remind myself – one day at a time. I also have to remind myself that it will take time to undo years of not being very kind to my body. This will be hard work, and I may not see results quickly – but I certainly can feel a serious mental/emotional boost.

I am also trying to get better about keeping my journal, so that I can be more aware of what I eat, take credit for my activities, and make sure I am getting the right nutrients and vitamins each day. This is about overall health – so I am trying to make sure I am getting what I need to stay healthy and strong.

I have made my journal public for all to see – so now everyone knows and there is nothing to hide.

Check out how I am doing every day on my FitDay Journal.

Wish me luck.

Until next time!
