Mon. July 23 - S

This is the beginning of a new...well, I'm trying again.  It is my goal to work out at least 5 days a week (at least 2 of those days at Curves as I think I need some more resistance training to build "fat burning muscle"). I will also do my best to stay on target when it comes to eating (as much as that's probably going to be a struggle).  I CAN DO THIS!!!!

Today I began by doing my exercises, that way I don't have to worry about it throughout this busy day of mine.  I am very proud of myself because I was initially going to stop after doing my 20 minutes of cardio.  Then I talked myself into doing the 10 min resistance training video.  After that, I forced myself into doing the 10 minutes of abs.  I HATE the fact that already, on day 1, I was already trying to talk myself out of doing my exercise (especially since this WAS supposed to be a CURVES day).  That said, I'm glad I did the 40 minutes.  I'm off to take a shower then get some food in my system.  I CAN DO THIS!!!!! (Failure is NOT an option)
