So I got through the first day and I'm on to the second.
I hear the first week is the hardest and I'm not gonna lie, it's definitely been hard. It wasn't so much the workout really...I mean, for the first three days, I'm only gonna do 20 minutes of cardio in the morning and then the 24 minute 'Start It Up' work out later in the day. It's been more the actual waking up and wanting to do it that's been the toughest part.
Yes, I'm determined to do it, but tell that to my tired brain and untrained body. Due to the work I do, I don't work consistently (not yet anyways) so I have a lot of free time on my hands. Up until a few weeks ago, I wasn't really doing much activity wise, so my body is still trying to grasp onto the fact of, "Whoa, she's getting off of the conch and doing something. This is weird!"
Also, I'm used to going to bed when most people are getting up (here in the States anyways) so I have a hard time getting up at a decent hour. When I try to go to bed early, I generally just lay there wide awake - my brain going 100 miles a minute. I eventually fall asleep and I have my alarm set for 8am but I can't wake up. I let it ring for another hour and I finally drag myself out of bed at 9am to get my day started - AND it's only my second day!!
What is wrong with me? I'm really hoping that as I keep doing this, eventually my brain and body won't be so tired all the time. Like literally, as I'm typing this my eyelids keep drooping. I just want to close my eyes and take a nap, but I can't! I can't because I have a scheduled meal in about 30 minutes. I can't because if I sleep now, I won't be able to sleep tonight...and I can't for so many other reasons. Am I seriously just complaining to complain?...or do you all go through this too?
Grumpy, but determined, Lizzy
