You're here at 3FC and that's a great start.
I'm currently 232 pounds. For this journey I started at 249. I've been large and sedentary all of my life. Back in July it finally clicked in my head... I MUST become active. Otherwise I will be a lump for the rest of my life. I had tried years ago to join a gym. URG. What a prententious meat market! But hey I was getting up and working out. Then a major life event happened and I no longer saw the use of it and I quit. And anyways I hated getting up early, making my way to the gym and hated the workout. GAWD and the price of initiation fee, monthly rate and the personal trainer!!!
For this go around, I was honest with myself and I took it slow. I hate waking up early to go to the gym. So I started waking up early... and did NOT go to the gym. But I got into the habit of waking up at 6 in the morning. Wow! I got a lot accomplished by waking early. After a week of that, my body started waking up at that time naturally. Next step was to go for early morning walks. Wow! Invigorating. The day is new and quiet. So peaceful. I could hear each of my steps. I had a nice pace.
Then I wanted to do something more. I knew I didn't want to throw myself into a typical gym again because I knew I would give up. So I joined my local Curves. There were women smaller than me... larger than me... younger than me... older than me. I started going three times a week. I enjoyed the activity level and the comraderie of the others.
My next workout goal is to try kickboxing and pole dancing.
Those will start when I get into onederland. I am looking forward to getting to that point.
My old self is shocked and stunned that I wake up early every day for a workout. My current self is dumbfounded that I didn't start sooner.
Take small steps. Then they'll become leaps and bounds.
