Week 1

Well it is the end of my first week of starting working out and also watching what I eat. I have been working out every two days for 30min. After the first couple of times I worked out I paid for it the next day with the soreness and stiffness all over my body. I hurt in places I didn't know I could hurt...It was a chore to even sit down. Although I may have been sore I kept pushing on with working out. The pain at least let me know I was working my muscles. The game has definitely kept my interest in working out. So far my favourite work outs are punching blocks and as well doing some of the dance classes. I was surprised to see that the game also included some weight exercises which I enjoy doing.

Since starting working out I have been more conscious of what I eat. I have stopped drinking pop, started eating whole grains, and eating more vegetables. Eating right isn't just for my benefit, it is always for my children to help teach them healthy eating habits. I have had cravings for the junk food though. The best way to stop eating junk food is DON'T BUY IT!! Which I am glad I stopped buying chips and junk so I can't be tempted to eat it.

The disappointing part so far is that I still weigh the same. I wasn't expecting drastic results right away,  but I was hoping to be down at least a pound! I understand why people may get discouraged with working out because they want to see the results fast! Of course I know it will take a few months before I start to see any major results, so I will be patient and keep up with my workout plan. On a brighter note I have lost an inch off my waist. YAY! So there is some progress. I am trying to keep positive about this and know it is a lifestyle change and not one of those quick fixes that do not last.

So here I go into week 2...hoping for more results and maybe dropping a pound.
