Here are my dream abs and arms and legs....I am very excited, this week began my 7th week of exercising for at least 3 times a week at a minimum. 1 week ago I joined a 3 week bootcamp program and am feeling sore and wonderful because of it. I really works me harder than I would work out on my own. I need to begin adding more cardio into my weekly schedule-I am going to try and do it in the mornings before work.
I am trying to see working out as fun and something that makes me feel better. To do that I have taken up swimming and biking a bit. I printed out a jump rope exercise routine that looks fun and is supposed to blast 100 calories in 10 minutes.
The hardest part of all of this is having restraint when it comes to my food choices. Growing up I was always able to eat whatever I wanted and was rail thin. At 37 that is just not a reality and coupled with the fact that I want to have kids and baby weight is super tough to get rid of, simply put - I need to get into shape.
It is cool seeing the muscles getting stronger and discovering subtle differences in how my body is shaped form day to day. I am not being too hard on myself because it took me years to get out of shape and therefore will take time to get into shape. My short term goals are to have non flabby inner thighs, a butt that doesnt sag so much and no 'wings' under my arms.
A new goal for today is to try and eat more whole wheat breads/pastas and not the white varieties.
