Day 1

                             I was lacking in motivation so I thought having a class might help but I can’t afford irl classes so I signed up for Daily Burn. I love having tons to choose from! At first it put me in TBT which was a bit more advanced than I can handle at this point. Next I tried MOVE which is a dance program that I am just going to love once I am capable of completing more than 5 minutes of it. Then I found “True Beginners” it’s for people who are new to working out or who are starting over again, it’s taught by a very positive and slightly humorous guy named Justin and his team made up of a grandmother who looks like she could out run me, a vet who survived a car crash last year, and a heavy trying to get in shape but is surprisingly flexible mother type. I love them! Justin is SO encouraging and not at all intimidating, he stopped me from quitting more than once saying “ok i know some of you are thinking you cant do this and want to turn this off but YOU CAN DO IT!” or something to that effect and I  was like, “ok ok fine youre right i’ve done harder things...” and i made it through the whole thing! I sweated, my legs burn, but I totally did it. Go me! 

About Daily Burn as a whole:

Tons of great programs to choose from (I can’t see myself getting bored any time soon)

Nutritional help on a program by program basis so you always know you’re body is getting what it needs to get the results you want

It has your workout schedule all set up so you don’t have to pick a workout every day

The “Life” section has answers to questions you didn’t even know you had!

They have a live streamed workout every day

With just the basic plan (which is what I have) you get one month free and one half off and when you do start paying it’s only 15$ a month

If you upgrade to premium you get early access to certain workouts and features and you can watch all 

For an extra 65$ a month you can get one on one coaching (not something I will ever do but it’s there if that’s a thing for you)

Seriously worth the 15$ I’ll be paying in a month and a half!

To sum up, I love Daily Burn and you will be seeing more of it! Here’s a screencap of my workout today:

   Ok so I haven’t been on much lately but I thought I’d pop in since I finally had a chance to weigh my self and also noticed a cool non weight milestone.

   I have been struggling with motivation and confidence lately and have been kind of slippy on things. I have been doing more active things and trying to eat better most of the time I feel like on an effort meter I’ve been putting in a solid like 4 out of 10 which is not the 7-8 I started this blog with or the 0 I had before I started.

   I live in a third floor apartment so the whole reason I started this thing was really 2 factors, 1. I was unable to climb the stairs with out huffing and puffing for like ten minutes and 2. I was 268 pounds, the heaviest I’d been since I was pregnant with twins 7 years ago and it was starting to get hard to move.

    Well about a week ago I noticed that I could take the stairs 2 at a time with the same effort it took me to do them one at a time before I started training, being more active, and eating better. This weekend I had an opportunity to weigh myself, I don’t have a scale so I used my mom’s, and I am 5 pounds lighter than I was a month ago.

   After the past couple  of pretty rough weeks I’ve had and *still* seeing progress, imagine what I could do if I really stuck with it...
