I'm also kind of glad I started my "New Year's Resolution" a few weeks ago. Monday will be 4 weeks doing Turbo Fire and I haven't missed a day! I think starting resolutions on New Years is very daunting. But it's as good of a time as any to get on the right foot of whatever bad habits or changes one might want to turn around. I heard on the radio something like resolutions only last about a week. A week! Yikes! Here's to you and your resolutions lasting more than a week, month, year, etc. Or at least may they have a lasting effect on you!
I think it might be fitting to talk about inspirations today. What inspires you to start something, to push forward, not give up? What do you aspire to be??
I don't know how many things could be more motivating than The Biggest Loser. I LOVE that show. I love to know their stories and their struggles and I love to see them transform into these smaller, happier versions of themselves. It's so inspiring. If these people can work hard and see results, why can't ANYONE? The thing that gets me going the most is knowing how far I've come.
I started out doing Celebrity Fit Club Bootcamp DVD, in which I'm pretty sure I did some damage to my knees from stomping too hard. I got Turbo Jam because it looked like fun, more dancey than the military style of Harvey Walden. The first few times I did it I was so frustrated. It was painful on my knee, and I couldn't get the choreography down as fast as they were doing it. I gave up a couple times. But I never stopped completely. I know those routines like the back of my hand now.
And doing Turbo Fire .. it's no joke. The me back then could never do Turbo Fire, physically and mentally. It's intense. But I DO IT! SIX days a week! and that's a bigger deal than I realize sometimes. And since TurboFire is six days a week, I've been working out on the weekends, something I never did before! Which is silly because when I think about it, it's the most time I have all week. I even worked out Christmas Eve and Day, days I would never have worked out on before since it's a holiday and you need to treat yourself (my usually excuses on holidays) .. well .. I pretty much had no rules on eating so I did over indulge, but I stuck to my workout, which is something. I will even end up being on track to my weight loss goals (so far..) even with the 3 day free for all on food!
Yep, I think 2011 has some great things in store for me .. I'm changing my life, and it seems to be sticking.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours!
