I am starting to see results!

This exercise stuff is hard work. Like most things in life, its not the physical component that is the struggle, it is the mental.

Every morning I argue with myself about getting out of bed. For the non-morning people, I know you understand me! However, once I am up and ready to exercise. I actually love it. I feel like I have climbed up a huge mountain (getting out of bed) and then running down the mountain with enjoyment (the actual exercise).

Now, to be honest, this has surprised me. I disliked early mornings and exercise. Both were on my YUK list. But now, with my new program and mission, I am actually enjoying the process.

It also helps when you start to see results. I caught a glimpse at my arms this morning whilst skipping and could not believe the change that has started to occur. They don't seem to look like bingo wings. It motivated me to keep going with my skipping, even though I could not breath and felt like I was about to vomit.

I am midway through week 4. I am a women on a mission. If you need motivating, I have the perfect trainer for you. The best part about my trainer is that she is not standing there with me telling me to do 10 push ups. I personally don't need the motivation. I need the accountability. Knowing that she knows what I am planning on achieving, keeps me on my toes. We also chat once a week about the exercise program and how I am feeling. No whinging though, she actually loves the fact that I am hurting, unable to walk and about to vomit.

Yes, I know, it takes effort to achieve what you really want in life. I just wish the effort of getting up would become easier!
