A new beginning

I am so proud of myself!!  I have been feeling like crap lately (like for a couple weeks)  just lethargic, unmotivated and under the weather.  I thought it had to do with the meds I was taking, and while I think alot of did, I think it is mainly because I am OUT OF SHAPE!  I am always so tired, and even though I work full time and take care of a toddler, I don't think I am supposed to be this tired.

This morning I woke up at 6:30, turned on my TV and did a workout video!  I thought it would be no big deal, but by time the 20 mins was almost over, I was sweating my ass off and out of breath. Note to self:  Next time you wake up early to work out....put on a bra when doing cardio.   Seeing as we have Fitness on Demand, I can watch any kind of video I want.....even Carmen Electra's Striptease workout video.  However I actually do own that one and trust me, watching me do it is not a pretty site. How are you supposed to look all sexy as you are bending over and trying to watch the TV screen at the same time?  Not a good idea people, at least not for me.  Mike even asked me to shut it off, lol.

The video I did combined cardio, strength training and abs which are things I NEED.  If felt great to get my heart  rate up and to break a sweat.  There were times when I wanted to half ass it because I was out of breath or more acuratley...out of shape...but I pushed on.  When I was done, I felt so good that I completed it.  A friend of mine, who is also a personal trainer, told me if takes 21 days of doing something for it to become a habit.  She also wakes up at 5am and goes for a 4 mile run, and while I am very far from doing that, I am going to try and commit myself to working out once a day.  I am not going to say it will happen everyday because I don't want to jinx myself, but one day at a time and hopefully this becomes a good habit of mine.
