work it

so as of last saturday my sister, alex, and i decided to start working out. the previous night i had found several beginner work outs and warm ups in addition to work outs for specific areas (such as abs, butt, or legs). since i haven't been physically active in three years we started off with simple things, well what should be easy but oh god did it hurt as soon as i did the second rep- alex left and said "we already did the warm up im done". my thighs killed. kinda depressing how when we were stretching i could barely touch the floor- it used to be so easy for me cause i was so flexible now im average boooo. anyways i did jumping jacks, crunches (only 10 and i nearly died), butt kicks, lunges, jump squats (those were a pain during the second rep). tomorrow i will feel the pain...and i need to find a couple minutes for the workout amongst my busy sunday

anyways that post was originally written saturday night but it's been a couple days. i've been working out dailing ever since- except sunday cause i was exausted and didn't get home till 10ish. and now that i've started i feel bad missing a day. i just want to see results and be toned and healthy again. i even want to start eating healthier- although it's hard. somedays i scarf down a bag of chips or chocolate then after done my thought process "crap. well now i have to work out more to make up for all that i just ate." so i push myself more then next day. it feels good. yesterdays work out was intense. i did the full amount of reps for the "sexy legs"workout and wanted to give up then a song came on that totally pumped me up and i was like "i can do this. no pain no gain." and i honestly sweat so darn much- i've never sweat while working out before so i was like "heck yes im pushing myself harder". my goal is to get into the habit of working out even if it's just for twenty minutes and then after paying off my bills and saving some money i plan on taking a yoga or kickboxing class. also this will help me get my cardio working again. prior to doing yoga i want to do a full body cleanse and get all these toxins out of my system. i feel like my heart and arteries are clogged with crap and the last thing i want is to die at the age of 30 because i didn't take care of my body. so that means im gonna hit up the doctors sometime this month to get a check up. if you know me you'll know i have not gone for a check up in about 4-5 years... yeaaaah not so good. very very foolish and ignorant of me. but hey i realized it now and im changing that.

mmmm this looks so apetizing. i can't wait till i start getttin paid to buy healthy food. i'll have to search recipes since i don't know how to make much. but i can cook if i follow a recipe so lets hope i find some goooood ones.

ps. this is all so new and strange to me. id be the last person to go all health crazy on y'all but i am. my body is a temple and i need to start watching what i put into it. i encourage you all to do the same.
