Sigh. :(

Sigh.  I feel like I failed already. :(

Today is Monday.  Yesterday, I was supposed to do workout #8 of Level One of JM's 30 Day Shred.  And I didn't do it.  We were busy (it was our makeup Father's Day for Adam) and I spent a lot of time making brunch, then we cleaned, then we all got ready to go shopping, and when we got home, I wanted to try out a few cleaning methods that I had bought supplies for.  And then Adam wanted to watch a movie with me that we had rented.  So when all was said and done...I didn't workout yesterday.  And I'm still upset about it.  When really I need to just let it go and get moving today.  It was just one day, a rest for one day.

But I feel so guilty.  :(

And I haven't exercised yet today, but I had to wait for a little while because our air wasn't work downstairs (it was hot, hot, hot) and I waited for the service tech. to come and finish it.  Btw, today I'm thrilled to be a renter!!!  He did and he wasn't too long but it was still after noon by the time he finished.  No excuses, though, I'm heading downstairs to get started.  I needed some motivation so I sat down to browse 30DS results photos. And I did.  So I'm ready to get going.

But I've got to say, I'm not seeing ANY results.  None.  Zip.  Zilch.  Nada.  Oh wait, except for the fact that my weigh has increased in the last week.  Yep.  I've lost nothing and gained at least a pound.  Supremely encouraging, I must say. :-/  I know, I know, muscle weighs more than fat, but I gotta tell you, I'm not seeing any fat disappear and certainly no muscles appearing.  I'm gonna keep on....but only with a faint hope that all of this is actually working.

Anyway, it's time.

ps. I mailed in my registration for next week's 5k.  :)  I don't like running, but I LOVE competition.  And I'm not in it to beat others because I won't (my age group is typically among the fastest runners), but I'm going to beat myself.  I want to beat a previous time I've run.  THAT will make me super happy.

EDITED TO ADD:  I did get my workout done today. :)  I still don't feel like I'm doing much, but when I get started, I can tell a pretty decent difference in my endurance.  I can totally make it to the end of the workout and I'm not nearly as worn out and winded when I'm done.  I only have two more days at Level One and then I move to Level Two...which I've never even seen before, let alone attempted.  But I'm ready.  I'm ready for the change and ready to push myself to do more.
