It’s hard. I find it super hard. Even the beginner start up work out. This is an older workout series from Beach Body. There were some trendy ones (like P90X, and Yoga Booty Ballet) I’ve had it so long it came on DVDs and I had to order it over the telephone. I never made it beyond the second workout, it’s so intensely hard.

This photo is of me after finishing the Start It Up workout.

Okay, this is more likely the expression I had. You can’t tell from this photo, but I was covered in sweat. This was the first time I’ve done this workout in over 10 years. I haven’t been working out at all. I haven’t been eating the way I want to. I don’t recognize my body anymore.

Numbers aren’t important, but I’m at least 20 pounds away from a healthy BMI (I’m 5’10 by the way) and I can tell. I don’t feel as strong and vibrant as I used to. I’m spending way too much time couch surfing and not enough time outside. Getting back on the exercise band wagon felt good. I am finding it a lot harder to lose weight now that I’m older (in my 40s).

My spouse and I have decided to work out every day. He prefers to workout in the morning and I prefer evenings. Either way, we have to get our butts in that gym, sometime before we go to bed. Every night. No days off. If we’re sore we’re still going to do something, stretching or yoga, but it has to be something. I know I’m going to hurt like crazy tomorrow, so stretching might be on for tomorrow. Then I’ll tackle that DVD series again.

  1. I love that you are disciplining yourself. I have NO discipline. I also love that you are taller than I am (5’9″) because I am almost always the tallest one in the room. Hope you aren’t too sore!!! I used to do the 20 Minute Workout on TV when I was a teen. I’m sure I wasn’t doing most of it correctly but I loved one of the instructors on that show. She was a dancer.

    1. I also lack discipline, which is how I’ve gotten here. I’m not too bad right now, but by the end of the day I’ll be feeling it. I had no idea you were that tall. High five!
