Whenever I have tried to "lose weight" before, I have always struggled with exercise. I hate sweating (and I do it a lot!). I hate being out of breath. I hate being sore for days after.
This is another reason why I feel that this time is different. My outlook has somehow, unconsciously, changed from focusing on the things I hate to saying to myself "It's only 20 minutes of my life!" and as my friend Carrie Poppy put it, those 20 minutes could add far than 20 minutes to my life. So true, so true...
So I'm 1/6th of the way through my 30 days in the 30 Day Shred. Part of me is discouraged when doing it when I still can't finish the jumprope/jumping jacks section or the last set or abs (those bicycles are killer!). I just have to keep encouraging myself that it's a marathon and not a sprint, and eventually I'll get there. On a positive note, I woke up today and was NOT sore for the first day of doing this! This was a delightful surprise!
Till next time, folks!
