Day 8 - Week 2.
Man, I'm a happy gal. I made it through the first week. Not once did I throw up or pass out....although I did have to stop and take some exercises slowly - I did every exercise as 'gym machines' selection. My gym doesn't have classes and I think as well that I need the one on one tuition until I can build up my stamina.
So what really really surprised me today?
After a whole day of rest yesterday (well - no gym), I was not really feeling it this morning. I was actually dreading moving my body again.
But after I warmed up I actually noticed that I was chewing through the cardio exercises and I was feeling great! No - slight exaggeration - it wasn't 'great', but it was 'coping'!!
That surprised me. And after I finished all the exercises, knocked off an additional 8 minutes on the bike and 14 push ups (as part of the 300 in the weekly challenge we have to do).
That was interesting. It was unexpected and I managed to get through the rest of my day focused on work and feeling just a little bit smug about my achievement today.
I hope I have more of those days...but I am still mindful that it really is one step at a time for me.
I haven't stepped on the scales since last Wednesday, so it'll be interesting to see what, if anything, have I lost in actual weight.
I'll report back soon!
