I started doing the Jillian Shred Video in the mornings. It's only 20 minutes, but she sure is right that it feels like a full hour as it makes you work!! The plan is to do that in the mornings and then my husband and I will walk after work. I am very sore!
I think I am off to a good start, and the biggest challenge is not letting anything get in my way. Last time I started committing to a healthier life and was doing so well, I let family health issues (mom's alzheimer's and dad's health issues)literally take over my life. I want to be there for them, but I just can't let my own health go down the drain. I have to eat right and exercise even when I am stressed and depressed.
Ironically, I have been put to that test soon after I started this new commitment to my health as another urgent family health has consumed me these last three days. The stress gets to me and makes me tired and feel weak---but this time, I fought back harder, by starting the exercise routine even earlier than I planned, and by doing it first thing in the morning because it's before all the days drama starts.
I HAVE to be healthy to have the strength for everything. The shape that I am in only makes dealing with these hard life issues even harder. Working long hours, dealing with emotionally painful things can be extremely challenging, but somehow if I give myself the gift of of healthier life, it makes me actually feel better that not only can others lean on me, but I can lean on me.
The only thing I worry about now is sleep, as the stress I'm dealing with can keep me from sleeping and that can unravel the whole thing, especially at this early stage. I don't know how to fix that if it comes up.
