January 9

I haven't written in a couple of days, but that doesn't mean that I haven't exercised. I have and I have loved and hated it. today I did my last work out with "Start it Up" in the Slim in 6 workouts. I'm kind of sad because it was the shortest amount of time. However, I am also excited to move on to the next workouts. Today I even took my dogs on a small walk. I might need to do that once a day. I might take two walks. One for Carmel that is longer, and a shorter walk for Kimi. Then I can possibly get my steps up to 10,000 a day. I'm barely making 6,500 steps in a day and it is sad. So my issue is that with losing weight and toning my body, I don't really know what dress size I will be in August. I don't know what dress size I want as one of the bridesmaids. I don't know what my body will look like come the wedding.

Today was one of the first times that I didn't want to exercise since starting the Beachbody program a week ago. However I pushed through and still exercised. Part of the problem was that I didn't want to do this new routine. it was hard and I was just getting used to the other routine. So I have about 27 weeks  to get into the best shape that I can before my cousin's wedding. I'm positive I can make a difference in my body by then but I am going to have to push and I am going to have to push hard. this is my motivation right now

In helping me as I strive to become more fit this year I decided on 12 goals to help me. Each month I am not abandoning my previous goals, but they are in place to be added to my current goal(s). For January's goal I wanted to develop a regular exercise program. I kind of did that. I am by doing the Beachbody program. So I only made a plan up to the point where my current workout plan/schedule goes to.

This is going to become ONE of my fitness journals for the course of the year. I am not really wanting to just write numbers in it. I am wanting to record my thoughts and feelings as I work this next year to become more fit.
I'm not going to lie, I don't know what switch finally switched to make me want to become fit. maybe it is that I am wanting to be married - and most guys don't like heavier girls. maybe it was that I want to finally feel more confident in my own skin. maybe I don't want to feel awkward getting in and out of cars because I am watching the car sink lower or raise up.
I feel like everyone talks about the way my body looks, maybe they are not, but it feels that way. I hope that anyone who reads this can find something to take away. I hope that you can find hope in my journey to go to a more healthier weight during the course of the year. also to start off my healthy year I am doing the Beachbody Slim in 6. It is a 6 week program, so we will see how it goes.

*Note: Since I have missed some days, this program will be taking me longer to complete*
