Day One

I have to admit, I actually lost sleep because I was so nervous about starting this challenge. What if I can't do it? What if I try and don't lose but a few pounds? What if I try and fail because it's too hard and I'm too undisciplined?

But my partner in crime was a rock today. He got up early and worked out! And then, during the day, when there were sincere chances for him to cheat he said "Absolutely not!" So, if he wasn't, neither was I!

Then, for the first time in well over 2 years, I stepped into the gym and completed a workout.

I was so scared that, even though I knew how apprehensive I was, my hands were literally shaking as I got on the elliptical. I felt like everyone in the place knew I hadn't properly exercised in years because of how obese I am and was snickering at the girl in leggings and her husband's 3x shirt which still hugged her rolls. I just knew they were laughing at me because it took me almost 5 minutes just to figure out how to plug in my iPod, put my keys away, and figure out the machine. I have a freaking BACHELOR'S DEGREE in Kinesiology....meaning I basically went to college to become something in physical fitness.

And yet, I was terrified of being in the gym.

But, I got through Day 1. I did a 20 minute manual program at level 1 for 5 minutes, level 5 for 5 minutes, and then level 2 for 10 minutes. Then it did a cooldown with me for another 5 min. My heartrate averaged 150 almost the entire time :( Not good....But, when that time was up, I stepped off that elliptical and felt something I absolutely did not have when I walked in: PRIDE. This six foot tall girl, felt about 10 feet tall as I walked outta there with my head held high.




I did it!

Hardest parts of the day: Finishing the fiber drink (nasty) and going to the gym. Also, remembering when to take pills, but that's an easy fix. I did the hardest parts though and I can keep doing them!
