Day One of Fitness Challenge - Open Bookin' It

Dinner was great.  The workout was really tough.  You know when you go to the doctor, and they ask you how often you workout?  There's 1-3 times per week, 3-5 times per week, etc.  And there's <1 time per week.  You always ask yourself, "Who marks that box?"  Well, it's me.  I've gained about 40lbs since college.  I hate even typing that.

Yesterday, I went from zero to sixty.  The workout was really hard for me.  I had to modify the modifications.  I rolled my ankle on the split jack lunges, and had to move on to sit-ups while my ankle calmed down.  I'm not happy with where I am, but I'm proud that I did it!  I didn't give up.  I kept moving.  And that's what you do when you're not happy with where you are.  You move!

This morning, I wasn't very sore.  Then I went down the stairs to my car, and things started screaming.  I know tonight will be a "challenge".  (That's teacher talk for hard!)  But I see what I'm working toward, and I want that more than I don't want to do anymore burpees!  (Who comes up with these names?!?)

  1. Ick burpees! I'm proud of you for finding a way to track your progress and not give up! If it helps to keep you accountable, I'll be checking up on this to see how you're doing.
