So I looked back over my (private only) blog entries and realized the frequency of my entries is as inconsistent as my 'starting over again' pattern. Here I am again. Starting over. Again. I realized while doing 20 min of 'Walk Away the Pounds" that I am continually starting over on a daily basis. The sun comes up, the day passes, the night comes, and it all starts over again. Too many days pass in between when I begin again...and when I begin again, AGAIN!
My goal is to excercise three times a week. I won't say every day, I won't say I'm going to complete a program, I won't even commit to the length of time the workout is. Just that I will exercise three times a week. Maybe with a loose commitment I will want to impress myself and go above and beyond this goal, which is usually what I aim for in all aspects of my family, personal and professional life. This goal is so small compared to where I was two years ago. But with my busy lifestyle, it is a big goal for me at this point. I will make time for exercise. And I will blog publicly more frequently.
I felt like sleeping in today but I was already awake and laying in bed thinking. I put on my exercise clothes and shoes and came downstairs to work out. The first 3 or 4 minutes I felt sort of disconnected with the video and noticed I was 'just going through the motions'. After that I guess my body started getting more used to the idea of moving and I really put energy into the rest of the workout. Instead of just touching the knees/simple twist while doing 'knees up', I did a couple sections of standing abs (from SI6). I was glad I added those in there...it was like saying to myself, 'I can do this'!
My favorite part of Leslie's video is when she says, 'YOU ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU KNOW...THE BODY IS STRONG'. I will write that where I can see it daily.
