My First Week

Happy Friday, everyone!

This was my first week of actually exercising/ working out in many years. I reached a point where I am the heaviest I have ever been at 170lbs . I have struggled with finding the motivation to exercise and be consistent with it. I am very much a perfectionist and I have a hard time accepting that I am not physically fit, that I can't do the same things that I used to be able to do, and that progress takes time.

I am hoping that by writing/ logging down that I am trying, what exactly I do to exercise, and track my eating and health that I will build that consistency. So maybe this post is more for just me? Or maybe someone going through a similar situation or feeling may relate? Regardless, I am doing this for me (and my health), my husband, our cruise coming up at the end of september because I want to feel good in a swimsuit), and our future family when we started trying for a baby (on the cruise lol).

This week:
Monday- my first day of working out (my new office has a small gym set up. Nothing fancy.
Tuesday- cramps from being a woman got the best of me.
Wednesday- some exercise, but I don't count it.
Thursday- I worked out at the office gym again. And I did one video of Day 1 for the 2026 Get Snatched challenge
Friday- I did the other video from Day 1

Sorry for the rambling, but wish me luck. I hope that I can accept that things won't be easy and that doesnt deter me from pushing forward. I will be proud if I can build consistency with working out. Regardless if I do all the videos for the day or even just one. I have to start somewhere, right?

These are my photos to start. I hope in a few months, I can visibly see a change in my body.
