Workouts Work?

I have a new job. I have a weekly routine. I am apparently a grown up. I think these recent changes in my life have enabled my recent 5:30am workouts. As you can tell this blog was created with the best of intentions, but my schedule did not seem to lend itself for anything routine and regular. I now have a 9-5 job, that has helped my find rhyme and reason in my life. This week I have worked out 4 times, all before 8am. It is Saturday and I worked out this morning. If you know me at all, you know that hell has frozen over. I attribute two things to my success, Netflix and my YMCA being ten minutes from my home and from my work. I am no able to surpass my intense hatred for all things aerobic because I can watch Scrubs, 30 Rock, insert your favorite sitcom, and not pay attention to what I'm doing for 45 minutes. I have enjoyed my mornings for the past week, and I have enjoyed the results even more. As much as I hate to disclose this, I think for accountability should tell you that I started the week at 147.8(tenths matter) and yesterday I was 145.2! My current goal is a normal BMI, which for my short stature is 132.2(again, tenths matter).

To give this a more interesting and comical twist below I have included all the reasons I hate working out:
- My face stays red for an hour after I work out
- I sweat
- I'm hot
- My feet get tired after 3 minutes
- I don't like watching skinny women run on the treadmill in front of me
- I don't like other people working out behind me
- I get wedgies and don't know how to handle that while on the elliptical
- I don't really like showering in an "away bathroom" (some people already know about my "away bathroom" anxieties, now everyone does)
- I have to wear flip flops while showering (again, "away bathroom" stuff)
- I have to get up at 5:30
- Its dark at 5:30
- Its cold
- I have to drink water
- Workout clothes are expensive
- My legs feel weird when I get off the elliptical
- I HATE WORKING OUT


On a positive note, I would love some encouragement and accountability to continue with this lifestyle change so any positive comments are so much appreciated! Until next time!
