Good Morning...

I know I said I would 'see' you last night, but I have soon realized that mornings actually work out better for me to blog. It seems at night I have way too many people up and about and EVERYONE needs to say SOMETHING to me when I'm sitting here. So mornings it is!
Well, yesterday was a good food intake day and I suppose a good exercise day. Lets just say it's a good thing I didn't blog right after working out. I'm still struggling with how weak and out of shape I am. I know, I know I just have to keep going and my strength and endurance will get better. It's just SO discouraging to me every time I exercise. I really need to get over that.
Today I plan to push myself a little more than yesterday. I figure if I keep progressing a little each day that I will get somewhere with my workout. I've been doing this 10min. Pilates thing that's on Netflix and then I do a Jillian Michaels Wii game workout to burn fat. I usually do the game on light, but yesterday I increased it to medium and yes, it made a difference. I like the game because it has different workouts that do different things so that I don't have to navigate all that and try to figure out what exercises are best for me now. Eventually, I will get to the place where I will know what's best for me and the game has that option, but for now I'll just use the pre-set training.
Today I think I'll add a little Yoga that's on the Wii fit. I think I need to do more stretching and flexibility training. I actually really like flexibility training. It was always my favorite thing to do when I was training or teaching a class.
My least favorite exercise is running and, you guess it, that's the majority of the Jillian Michaels workout. God give me the mental strength...seriously. I really hate running. You may be wondering how I run with a Wii game, well it's jogging in place...agh. Just typing about it brings on a blanket of dread.
Well, I'm also trying to eat a healthy breakfast within an hour of rising. This is REALLY difficult for me. Many, many, many times throughout my life I have routinely skipped breakfast. This is the WORST thing  for me to do. It must be some hereditary thing, or it could be a learned thing? I'm not to sure. My Mom, Sister, and oldest Daughter have a VERY hard time eating anything for breakfast. Thing is, my Mom, Sister and Daughter are inherently thin, I was/am and never will be their body type so in addition to this practice being extremely unhealthy, it packs on the pounds for me. Couple this not eating breakfast thing with the fact that I'm an early riser and there you have it, the perfect storm. So this morning I woke up at 5:44 and it is now 6:39 and I still haven't eaten. Please excuse me for a moment. Ok, it's 6:44 and I am eating. I made oatmeal (plain rolled oats) 4Tbs with water, one small apple chopped and a little cinnamon. No milk, no sugar, no salt, no butter, no syrup and it's really good. It's also just enough that I'm not overwhelmed with a huge breakfast. This should get my metabolism going.
Today is a new day and I'm confident I will get a good workout in and I will push through my disappointment!
Everyone, have a wonderful day!!
