No Pain, No Gain.

So, I am very proud of myself for working out yesterday. I completed level 1 of Jillian Micheal's 30- Day Shred. I have made a promise to myself to make and effort to get back into shape this year. I know I deserve to be looking my best, because this is truly, the best I have ever felt, in my life. It has taken me a long time to get here. To get to the point where I accept myself, and accept who I am, and feel confident that I can improve my life. This next year is all about goal reaching and planning for the future.

This blog will serve as an inspiration to me in the future. I can look back and see my drive, and remember the thought I have having.

Right now, I feel really proud of myself. My body aches in weird places but it's a good hurt. I know that if I keep it up, my body will start changing drastically. I have good genes. My father is naturally slim and muscular, and in the past, I have been able to build muscle very quickly. Faster than most people, so I am bound and determined to take advantage of my genetics.

The Jillian Michael's workout is only a 20 minute workout, and when I was doing it yesterday, there came a time, in the middle of the workout, where I suddenly felt that I could not go on. So I took a quick breather and joined to workout again. Before I knew it, the workout was over, and I felt sooo good. I felt like I had gotten over the hump, and thought to myself, "Man, that went by quickly. I COULD do this once a day. I should do this once a day. Why not?"

This whole fitness thing IS important to me. I am young, and single, and love to be active. I also love clothes shopping, but for the past 2 years shopping has been an awful experience. I see clothes that I really love, but they don't look good on me. When your bigger, clothes don't fit the way you want them too. There are too many factors you have to consider. Clothes that are too snug show off  the rolls. But clothes that are too loose look like tents. I have made a decision to stop buying clothes until I lose a few sizes. Buying size 14 clothes now, will only give me an excuse to stay the way I am. I have told myself that when my jeans start falling off my body, I will be allowed to go shopping for new clothes, which is pretty exciting! It gives me something to look forward to.

So welcome to my fitness blog. Come on this new journey with me!
