Halfway through...the first week.

Monday: Walk 15 minutes
Tuesday: Walk 5 minutes, run 1 minute (repeat 1x) Walk 5 minutes
Wednesday: Walk 15 minutes

So far so good. That's how I feel like the week is going so far. I've gotten up every morning to do my scheduled workout, and after I convince myself to get out from under my warm covers, I'm good to go. It's that warm covers part that makes it hard. So far the workouts, as I've listed above, aren't that strenuous. I think it's good to start off slow and build up. I think in the past, where things have gone wrong, is that I start out too fast and expect too much and get mad at myself and burned out before I make any progress. And unfortunately I am out of shape and running for even one minute is harder than it should be.

I have purchased a couple of Biggest Loser workout DVDs that I've heard are really good. I'm going to add to my run in the mornings with a DVD in the evening a few times a week. I have Power Yoga, 30 day Jump Start, and another one...that I can't remember the title of. lol I know I need to do some strength training along with my cardio so I'm hoping that these DVDs will help with that. Eventaully I would like to start going back to the gym and using the equipment there, but in keeping with the babys steps theme, I'm going to start with DVDs and work up. There's something about actually going to the gym, that for me, is a total mental block. I feel like that is where I have failed every other time I have tried an exercise program. I just want to see what other options are out there that allow you to get in a good workout with strength training where you don't have to go spend an hour in a gym.

For the first time ever I feel like this is a goal I can actually accomplish. It's something I want to accomplish. I want to turn 30 financially and physically fit. I know it's still early, and I still have my beginners enthusiasm, but I really think I can do this. I know I NEED to do it.

3 more days to go until week 1 is complete, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm excited for tomorrow morning.
