KettleWorx, week 3, Core

I did my video today, and I feel better and better each day. I'm seeing a huge imporovment in my muscle tone, and I feel so much stronger. I was able to hold my son for about half an hour while he napped on me yesterday. My son is about 25lbs, and I struggled holding him for long periods of time. I didnt have the muscle tone, and I carry around to much fat to hold him for more than 5 min at a time! I'm so excited I can be a better mom now. I want to let everyone know that the biggest challange, for me, about making this change in my life . . . was just deciding to DO IT. For so long, I knew I needed to do something about my weight, but I guess I just didnt want to fail again. I swear the hardest thing to do was commit to something again, but when you're doing it, its really not that bad. I feel better after every workout, and I'm so proud of myself for getting through it. I dont know why I have it ingrained in my head to make excuses to not do it (I hope those thoughts go away) but I think it takes more effort to talk myself out of doing the workouts, then to just do them. So, I've been counting my calories for a few day's now, with the help of the app My Fitness Pal, and I havent been staying exactly within 1200 calories a day, but I've been pretty close, and the weight is starting to come off quicker. I've lost about 2 lbs in a few days. It's really working guys!!! I really appriciate everyone's support and encouragement!!! You all keep me going, and I appriciate it. Thanks for listening! I love you all!! And remember "No More Excuses!!" "No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch" How I relate to this quote: I dont care if I can't do the workout like they're doing it in the video, I'm doing it to my best ability. Which is more than I was doing before I started working out. Even if I just do a light excersise, I will still excersise, no matter what!
