8/10/2018 - The beginning.
Okay, I am putting my weight and stats out there. Here we go:
8/10/18 -
Height: 4 ft. 10 inches
Weight: 134 lbs
Flexibility level on a scale of 1 to 10: 3
Y’all. Its bad. I can’t touch my toes anymore.
How am I mental, starting out on this journey?
I’m humiliated. Embarrassed. Ashamed. I feel disconnected to my sexual and confident self. I feel a lack of self care in myself. I don’t feel the need to put time into myself, like taking a soothing bath or fixing my hair and make up before work. When the opportunity arises to do something physical, like a walk with the family, I create reasons as to why I don’t want to or can’t.
BUT, that is all going to change.
I made myself workout today. I got on the floor and did 35 minutes of Pilates. It took all of 2 seconds into that 35 minutes to realize I was no longer good at Pilates. I no longer had my flexibility I once had, even five years ago. But, it was day ONE. I will pat myself on the back for doing it and then going for a 15 minute walk with my dog Maggie afterwards.
