After the workout thoughts/discussion:

First of all, I’ve never worked out. I’ve been overweight basically since puberty.  I HATE exercising. I despise it. I don’t like hurting and I have horrible determination when it comes to putting myself through pain.  So this is a completely new thing for me.  I’m sick of being fat and not liking to show off my body, and feeling unattractive and unhealthy so that is why I’m beginning this. Hopefully it will lead to me exercising regularly for the rest of my life and having the healthy sexy body I’ve always wanted.  I’ve also asked for a Wii Fit for Christmas so I’m going to be coupling that with this program (assuming I get it).

I finished my first workout earlier before creating this blog. It kicked my butt.  I was sweating horribly and panting within 5 minutes, which gives you an idea of how out of shape I am.  I like how it’s set up though.  It keeps you moving and she focuses on working as many muscles as possible at the same time and you’re not allowed to stop for more than 5 minutes.  They way she delivers the workouts is with force and encouragement, just what I need. I need her to tell me “Don’t you dare stop!” and “You’re almost there keep up with it”.  I titled this “Getting my butt kicked, literally” because one of the exercises requires kicking your own butt. :)

Anyway, even though I can’t walk without wobbling right now, I’m excited to keep up with this and see the results.
