I am the original 225-pound weakling!
I attempted my first JillianMichaels.com workout tonight. I’m in such sucky shape that I could barely finish one set of the first circuit!
I’m not surprised… I have not done any sort of strength training for quite a long time, and I have the muscular fortitude of Jello…
Am I gonna give up, though?
Hell, NO! (she says now…)
I have my first solid goal – to make it through a full circuit!
2011-03-27 Stats: 227.6 lbs., waist 46.5, hips 48
So, this is just a quick note for tonight…
I signed up for Jillian Michaels’ online program, thinking that perhaps I will stick with something if it is going to cost me money.
The workouts look to kick my butt bigtime! Hoping I can make it through the first one, which is scheduled for Tuesday. I’ll keep you posted…
OK, so… Two weeks ago, I took part in my first public “fitness” event. This was the Run For The Seals, a 2-4 mile fun run/walk on behalf of the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, California (http://www.marinemammalcenter.org). Several friends and I signed up to do the 4-mile course.
I’m going to change things up here, and start off with the “Ugly”…
I’m the second one from the right – not a pretty sight! Ain’t no way no how that is gonna be seen wearing a bikini on a beach – I’d end up in one of the pens at the Marine Mammal Center!
Now we’ll move on to the bad… I’ve spent the last couple of weeks in a blue mood – not quite as bad as a black hole, but still not conducive to being enthusiastic about things that will help me get rid of the “ugly”… Also bad – I finished the four miles in 1:22… not even three miles per hour, and it left me feeling beat.
The good? I finished! And I’ve set my sights on the Bay to Breakers in May, so I have something to work towards. I definitely want to improve my speed – I’d even like to be able to run at least part of it…
I’ve got some other ideas in my head about how to make positive changes, but more on that tomorrow…
