All right work out buddies, how was your first work out yesterday/today?! I got up this morning and truly didn't want to work out, I put it off for the entire morning. Finally I decided it was time to get off my ass and work out. I knew that I would feel so much better about the rest of my day afterword.
I ran 1.5 miles and it was a little tough today. However, I plugged in my music and made sure Kyla had everything she needed: Sprite, gram crackers, cartoons, and an empty bladder...I didn't want to stop once I got going. I also made sure I had the remote (in case Kyla wanted a different station) water, and ipod charged and ready. After I got in a good groove of running, my run went great! I felt so accomplished when I was done. The sweat was dripping off and my heart was racing. As soon as I was done, I logged onto http://www.bodyrock.tv/2012/01/09/week-2-day-one-of-our-30-day-challenge-turn-me-on/ and did my work out there. It was a tuff one today and really worked out my body. By the time I was done I had a huge smile on my face (sweat still dripping off) and said to myself "Much better!"
I have heard that the first week of working out and getting into the habit is the hardest and toughest. Not saying that in the weeks to follow won't be hard, but that in that first week, you really push yourself to get into the habit of working out on a regular basis.
You can't give up on your first week!! Trust me, once you finish your first week and you rest on Saturday and Sunday (or whatever two days are your rest day) You will look back on the week and feel soo good about yourself and knowing that you accomplish a week of working really hard. Don't forget, finishing week one also means you are one week closer to your goal!!!

Hey! This is such a good idea! I'm glad you started this blog. I'm excited to follow it and read your comments. YOu asked if anyone worked out today, I did. I've been doing the Turbo Fire workouts. If you don't know what those are, they are like a kickboxing/dancing type of a workout. I love them!! They are challenging, and also so much fun! I actuall enjoy working out with those videos. I like how you said, that your first week is always the hardest. Last week was my first week, and it was hard getting into the routine of working out everyday. but it was so worth it! I lost 4.4 lbs! I feel so good, and am so excited to keep up the exercise. This week I am definately feeling the results. Today, my butt and arms are definately sore,and it was hard to motivate myself to exercise. But afterwards, I was glad that I did it! I like the quote "You will never regret working out, but you will always regret it when you don't". or something like that. Anyway, I'm so excited to keep this going and see how your doing too!
