August 29 is going to be a huge day for me! Not only is it the first day of school for both of my kids...the youngest starting Kindergarten and the oldest starting 4th grade at a new school, and it is my son's 5th Birthday...it is also the beginning of a new me!
I talked to my cousin who is a fitness buff! He set me up with an awesome exercise regime! It will require a lot of training and sticking with it even when I don't feel like doing it, but I know in the long run, it will be worth it! My goal is no longer to lose weight because really weight doesn't matter. I want to be stronger and more toned! I test for my black belt in a year, and I want to be able to make it through a 4 hour workout without feeling like I want to give up after 30 minutes.
Talking to him made me realize so many different things...one of the most important being that I won't see major results for at least 2 months! That info would have been nice to know before when I spent hours exercising for weeks and I really saw no changes. It made me feel really bad, and I would lose my motivation.
The good thing about now is that I have someone who wants me to keep them updated on my progress, and that will keep me motivated as well. I know if I don't follow through with it, I will feel like I wasted my cousin's time with everything he gave me, and I don't want to do that.
I am really excited to start this new chapter in my life! I can't wait to do what he gave me! I know I will stick with it! This is going to be good for me!
Of course, with the new exercise program will also come diet changes. I have started compiling healthier recipes and have made changes to what we have in the house - more fruits and veggies, less junk food. I am really looking forward to all of the changes!
