#focust-25

  Holy Moly today was a struggle.    And to think that I woke up this morning on DAY 3, and the little "I dont wanna do it" minions were really whispering in my ear!! Day 3....what a sad, sad thing to admit! 

     In between the moving planks and the million and one spider pushups, I was struggling to hold up my body weight! But, I pushed through and was sweating the whole way through. (and it felt good) I was a little hungry, so I felt like I was struggling through having no energy, but I tried to forget about it and continue on.              One thing I don't like about working out, is your metabolism burns like fire!! I came home and had a huge salad consisting of spinach, peppers, tomato, ham and cheese. (the ham and cheese maybe wasn't the best, but its all I had around for protein! :)) 

                                                 Today is Wednesday, and so far since Monday I have started a 60 day workout program, AND signed up for a 5K in Portland!! This is all exciting new beginnings! 

    Today was the start of a fresh and new me.  Everyone says those words at some point in time in their life. Its usually when they feel so bad about themselves that they decide its time to make a change to make them new. 

...I have reached that point. It happens to be about my weight and body image...

     I have a boyfriend that loves me the way I am. Friends that support me in my fashion and eating habits (as bad as they can be), and family that doesnt care what the heck I look like. But for me, I look in the mirror and am unhappy, and decided its time for a change. 

     Me and my friend from work have been jogging with our dogs a couple days a week to get out of the house and move a little. She has completed Shaun T's Insanity two times and looks great. I can really see a change in her! I started insanity a couple months ago and sadly failed after the 1st week.  I have no fire and drive, and I need to work on that. 

    She told me that she was going to buy Shaun T's latest workout program, Its 25 minutes 5 days a week. Sounds easy enough. I have no reason to come up with an excuse of not to do it. She convinced me to buy it as well. 

     Today was Day 1. It was a lot easier than I expected, but then again, everything is when they start out. Trying to ease you in so you dont freak out and give up! haha. I made it through with barely any trouble. My friend took my measurements and a coupe before pictures (which I will not be posting on here...) I hope that by the end of the program I can look a little different and be healthier. Thats the most important thing to me. We only get one life. Im 24 years old, and I dont want to waste my prime. 

     I hope that I can inspire people to follow my journey for the next couple of months! If i can get through it, then maybe other people can too!
