Thoughts

i'm almost a week in to this whole exercise thing. and i am going to share with you all the thoughts that have popped in my head since the first day.

Day 1:

• why am i out of bed right now?
• i wish i was under my covers...
• is the baby up?
• i think i am going to die.
• holy... I am not sure i am going to be able to make it the whole 25 minutes
• i hate myself for not exercising in years... why did i do this to myself?
• my whole body hurts... 
• thank goodness it's over!

Day 2:

• why am i out of bed right now?
• man... I miss my pillow.
• is the baby up?
• i am only doing this because of all the others joining me... otherwise i would be in bed.
• i can't believe so many other people are joining me.
• my body hurts. 
• my armpits hurt.
• this is terrible... i can't breathe.
• thank goodness it's over!

Day 3:

• why am i out of bed right now?
• i wonder when the baby will get up?
• jumping jacks first thing in the morning suck.
• i hate all this jiggling going on... so gross.
• i wonder if i ever will get rid of this soft, mushy tummy?
• jillian michaels is getting on my nerves. 
• why do they use skinny people in the videos... i want to look like Anita.
• i think i only have like eight minutes left...
• thank goodness it's over!

Day 4:

• why am i out of bed right now?
• i can't wait until this is over...
• lunges are hard enough to do... why do i have to use hand weights too?
• how is this only Day 4?
• keep going... you have others doing this with you.
• thank goodness it's over!

Day 5: 

• why did i not get up this morning and exercise?
• it is so much harder to workout at the end of the day.. what was i thinking?
• i should be relaxing on my couch.
• i can't wait to relax on my couch.
• its friday night and i am exercising. ugh.
• i am over all this sweat.
• thank goodness it's over!

Day 6:

• thank goodness the kids are in bed.
• i can have some quiet time for me and exercise.
• huh... i was able to do all the push ups today.
• wow. i was able to get through jumping jacks and jump rope without stopping.
• i almost made it through the whole video without stopping for a break.
• that wasn't so bad tonight.

i realized last night how completely negative i have been with this whole exercise thing. i have negative thoughts go through my head during the whole 25 minutes! i had a friend comment yesterday that she felt good doing Day 5 of the Shred! i had to start looking at the bright side of moving this body... i want to run again some day. i want to be healthy and not feel like i am dying when i chase after my kids. i went into tonights workout positive... and it went so much better! I'm going to try be positive about these thirty days... or should i say 24! 6 days down... only 24 to go!
