I'm at the point in my goals to get fit that my workout has gotten harder. As I mentioned here, my workouts started small and are getting progressively more difficult and longer. They are starting to kick my butt. I'm sore because of the chest flys I did yesterday with 5 pound weights. FIVE POUNDS. That's all! Why am I so sore?!? You'd think I was using 50 pound weights. I'm sore because today I ran for 10 minutes (with only a 15 second pause to take some breaths and tell myself I could do this) straight. There was more to my workout today, but it was the running that did me in.
Actually, the running for 10 minutes surprised me. I didn't think I could do it, so I spent the entire time chanting with each step: I. Can. Do. This. I. Will. Get. Fit. It actually worked. I got through it. My legs are sore now, but not that badly.
I'm trying to remind myself that this takes time. It will be a while before I see results. I have no patience, so it's hard for me to stick with a fitness routine. I'm determined this time, though. I'm not sure what changed, but I know I'm tired of feeling badly about myself. Now, I just need to tell myself every day that I can do this. I will get fit.
Oh, and I'm up to 12 pounds lost, just in case anyone is keeping track.
