Day 3

Day 2 was totally unsuccessful.  But I didn't expect to get too much accomplished.  My knee is still recovering from that 'run' and I also had a 9 hour work shift that was very stressful... so I had to get some rest.
Day 3 started off very bad but I didn't let it ruin my day.  I did procrastinate after class.  But I still managed to do the first BeFit workout and man it was tough.  The warm up was a bit challenging but not horrible.  I couldn't do very much in the second video because of my knee.  Same goes for the third video.  But I made sure I didn't stop moving, so that's good :)  My doctor said no to squats and jumping, so after hurting myself trying I decided it's probably a good idea to listen to him.  I think with time I will be able to do more with my knee.
My plan is to go on walks whenever I can.  I think doing a combination of walks and those videos will do me some good :)  I can't wait until I can start running again!

This is totally me:

already sore...

And my motivation:

yummy 
One day.... ;)

Workout Progress

Tonight is my first night working out.  I've tried getting back into exercising but I keep falling off the path.  This time I'm determined to keep up.  This year has been so stressful and these past 3 months I've noticed that I've turned to eating for comfort.  So from now on I'm going to try to turn to working out instead :)  My knee is still in horrible shape so I'm taking baby steps.

My attempt at running a mile:

(blocked out the map of my neighborhood hehe)
Total fail.  Once I got to .5 miles my knee got really stiff.  It wasn't a fun feeling.  I ended up limping my way back to my house.  I went on Netflix to look for workout videos but they don't have any.  I looked did a search and found the BeFiT channel on Youtube.  Looks cool.  I'm going to try out their Be FiT in 90 Challenge. It's something I need to do every day.

So far it looks pretty good.  I'm not going to try running anymore cause I don't think I can handle it.  I will go back to walking but I hate it because I feel so lazy just walking.

Anyways, I will try to update this at least three times a week if not every day. That will motivate me to do something every day so I can have something to post :)  I will also weigh myself so I can keep track of that.
