Day 2 of the Shred,Me My own Worst Enemy!

Day 2 of the 30 day shred and i am about to collapse. I can't sit down without screaming at the top of my lungs because IT HURTS!!! Yes everything hurts, i can barely carry my little O without thinking i am going to drop her. FYI prior to this exercise program i jumped on the elliptical everyday for 40 min, i can't even imagine what someone who does not work out at all might go through.

OK, i am not trying to discourage anyone, we all know the soreness just last a few days anyways. I am just being real. This morning, i was not able to do day 2 first thing because i have 2 sick kids who missed school again! I did however get it done around 2. Prior to starting i was thinking how in the world was i going to get day 2 completed, if i am not able to move without pain. That's when the enemy within kicked in full force. "why are you going through this anyways, is not worth it, you will quit anytime now, do it while you still can". HA! i thought, yea right, i am not going to fall for these lies the enemy is telling me right now. If i want to loose weight i have to do what i have to do! I set some goals for myself now i need to accomplish them. If i give up i am going to not only be miserable that i gave up, i am also going to have the extra pounds. I got through day 2 struggling, but i did it. The great thing about this is that not is it only 20 minutes that go by pretty fast, but the workout itself i think, is not that bad. And if it hurts so bad, is because is working really good.

So i SHUT DOWN the enemy within, i am ready for day 3, popped some Advil's and deal with the soreness. Many of us complain about our problems, instead of nipping it where it starts, our mind. Don't be your own worst enemy, train yourselves to turn ALL negative thought into positive ones. Doing so, you will experience the happiness God intended for you to have. If you are happy with yourself, everyone is happy.

Day 3 here i come...
