Today was day one of the beginning workout. It's also day one of using this website. I was hoping to find someone in the Jacksonville, Florida area to maybe go for walks with or something (as I could also use some sun), but this site doesn't allow one to peruse or make friends by area (only age, gender, and other information). I also tried to use the Nutritional link but the categories on that page don't carry links on them like they appear they should. I wanted to make a nutritional log but can't seem to do that here (at least not as of yet).
The workout wasn't too bad. I definitely felt it (having been used to being lazy and not working out at all). I'm hoping to keep up the motivation. I was told that I'm pretty much a quitter and never continue anything beyond a week so let's hope I can keep this up. I can't really afford much as I'm not working right now and I'm trying to find a better job than the contract one I have which doesn't pay me over the summer. Unfortunately, my self esteem is low right now because I can't really fit into any of my good clothes because I eat when I'm depressed and that's been all the time lately. My relationship is suffering as well and I can't seem to pick myself up much lately. I hate rolling off the couch when I should be able to just get up like a normal person.
The crunches and push ups were hard (even doing the bended knee ones). I know it will supposedly get easier. Still, it would help if I had someone to motivate me besides myself. My partner always says, "Let's go work out," but then he's so tired when he gets off work he never wants to go and work out. I'd like to get in shape and look sexy again as when we first met. This way I can at least feel good about myself and hopefully have some endorphins to deal with the depression I've been battling. I'm sure it will probably help with my diabetes as well.
Day 1 over.
