I didn't want to workout today after work. In fact, when Daniel and James went to the store I was only going to do the Insanity warm up which is a short but serious cardio workout in itself. Halfway through the warm up I realised two things.
1) If I didn't do it, it's just going to take so much longer in the end. As much as I hated getting started it is always easier than starting over.
2) I no longer feel like I have an elephant sitting on my chest. I have shed enough body fat that I can breathe deeply in almost any position, instead of feeling like I might vomit from the vice around my neck.
I have hit a place in my weight loss journey. When the first round of measurable and satisfying body changes are starting to reveal themselves. In a nutshell it's paying off. I am sleeping better, have a much more pleasant demeanour, I am happier outside the house than inside, I am starting to enjoy exercising again and look forward to being finished each day, I am motivated about my life and I am starting to step outside the box. Physically, I can see changes in every area of my body from my jawline all the way down to my feet. Everything feels different, tighter, lighter. I am most excited about the significant changes in my arms. I have the genetic predisposition to huge weight gain in the upper arms. It's tragic really. I carry a great deal of weight there and I was quite worried it would take years to come off, but the difference in size between January and today (June 2nd) is striking.
After much searching I have found the perfect video link to show you exactly what the workouts are really like. Insanity Workout Montage is a 10 minute video of a woman kicking ass at the workouts. I have done all of these and I can honestly say she is incredible. So if you're interested check it out, let me know what you think of this video!
I am pumped about Mondays weigh in!
