Whose legs are these anyway?

Day three of my goal to work out daily at least 30 minutes a day.  I wasted time this morning, trying to get the television set up to allow my "game".  I was furious at myself when I finally got it working, so I pushed myself to work harder to make up for not getting started on time.   I am working on the "Biggest Loser Challenge" Wii game.  I set myself a goal of working out for 12 weeks.  I have a lot of work to do in that time--get the exercise in and then I can move on to eating better.

I am now getting up earlier--that alarm is going to kill me at some point, I feel certain.  I don't want to get up any earlier than when my alarm usually goes off, but I did.  I have to admit that I pressed the snooze button once this morning, but got up after that.  I'm going to have to condition myself to get up that early.  It'll take a bit of practice.  I can do it though.

I worked my lower body yesterday and today, I worked my upper body.  My legs HURT!!  I'm not sure why...I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but still, my legs are super sore.   I guess it's because I moved!  Guess I will have to keep moving so that I can get past the pain.  LOL!

My best "subject" so far is the squats today and the "slip" (think of it as a duck and punch thing).  Oh, the pain!  Cannot wait until tomorrow's workout....oh wait!!  I don't have a workout tomorrow.  It's supposed to be an "off" day, but I'm going to take it and run with it.

So...sore legs, check!  Working out five times a week...heading there.

Goal setting

I don't make "resolutions" because I tend to make excuses NOT to keep them.  Friday night, I went to the game store with my son and picked up two games for the Wii for myself.  I got a Biggest Loser Challenge game and a My Fitness Coach game.  Yesterday morning, I decided that the BLC game would be better, so I pulled it out and attacked it. I set myself a goal, with the game, of working out 5 days a week, for 30 minutes at a time.  Yesterday was day 1.  Today was day 2.

I am sore, but feel great, all things considered.  I'm going to set my alarm earlier than on normal so that I can put in a thirty minute workout daily.  I've decided that I'm tired of being obese.  I'm tired of carrying around a lot of excess on my knees.  I am trying to be a healthy example for my children but it's not been happening.  I can't provide them a healthy example if I'm not working out, losing weight and eating healthier.  

I'm keeping records of my day--my eating and exercise.  Once I get back into the habit of working out and journaling, I think I will feel much better about myself.  I feel like this is a good goal and a positive start to my year.
