Today I got in a lot of exercise. I got in my individual workout. But my friend is wanting to get in shape/start working out. So I also did more than my program. it was nice, but I might be sore tomorrow. We have a plan. I also have a plan. I'm going to keep following my scheduled workouts, but I am also going to work out with my friend. But I am paying for these workouts, so I am going to still do them.

Today I didn't have the chance to exercise, but I was able to go on a 40 minute walk with my dogs. It will push me back a day, but that is ok with me.

Another small scale victory today. I lost 3 pounds in the last week. it is a different feeling, but I do love seeing even these small victories. today I did my exercise - stretching, and I took my dogs on a walk. it was nice because I was able to over on my goal for daily steps. I'm a little nervous for tomorrow because I am doing an exercise video that I haven't done before. it makes me nervous because what if I cant do it. I know that as I keep working and trying that I will improve and that is exciting and nerve-racking.

I'm nervous. Tomorrow is my weigh in day. I'm positive I have lost weight, but it is still nerve-racking because I am wanting the scale to move and be lower than the previous week. However, I do know that I will hit a point but I am not losing weigh, but I am losing inches. I'm excited for that as well! I'm excited to become more toned.

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.

One thing that I love is that each day that I work out, I can do more of the exercises than I could the day before. Some of the moves I still struggle with, but I am better than I was last month. I will continue to improve. I want to change my life and my body. I know that it is a process, but I will go for it until I get the body that I am desiring. I have to do this for me, no one else has to deal with the way my body feels.

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
