Day Four: Thursday, April 23rd, 2015

This morning I got up and did Ab Intervals.  I must admit that when I first decided to start T25 over again from scratch that I was not 100% sold on the idea but I am so glad that I started over.  When I first started the program a little over a year ago I had to modify A LOT!  Now I do modify some of the jumping but not because I can't do it but because I am old and my knees are not what they used to be.  Being able to do the workouts with modifying and being able to actually feel my core as I am tightening it during the moves is a great reminder for me of how far I have come in the past year.  I am also reminded how awful I used to feel and know that I never want to be like that old person I was ever again.  For anyone who is reading this who feels like they just don't know where to start or thinks they can't do it, take it from me YOU CAN DO IT!  You have to start somewhere and you have to go at a pace that is manageable for you.  If you try to go to fast you will get burnt out and end up quitting.  On the flip side of that if you go to slow and don't see any results you will also end up quitting.  It has been over a year since I started and I did not have that far to go but I have not given up and I am determined to hit my goal weight.  Most importantly, while I may have put on a few pounds I did keep working out (just not as much) and I did not give up and quit.  I am back on track and more determined than ever.  The old me from a year ago is gone.  I started and stopped and went right back to the overweight, low self-esteem, depressed, shell of a person way too many times.  That will never happen again!

I hope that I can inspire even just one person that they are worth it and they can do it because we are all worth it and we all deserve to be our best.  Thanks again for supporting and following me and have a great day!  Remember, you don't have to come out of the gate with all guns blazing but you do have to start somewhere or you will never be any different than you are right now.
