I have been trying to workout a little every day, and have been doing really well with my free weights. I have officially upgraded from 3 lbs weights to 8! Yay! Go me! It may not seem like much for someone on the outside, but for me, it means I am doing well. I have almost no upper body strength what so ever, and this is now being improved to my liking.
After my last post, I sat and really thought about everything that had happened, and now I have nothing but positive reinforcement from my family and friends, as it should be. I won't let what one person says to me get me down. I will continue to do my small workouts on the days where I have to work, and on the days I don't, I will do larger workouts. More intense workouts. Right now, the free weights are working and doing their jobs and I feel better.
I am not necessarily losing the added fluff where I would like to right now, but that's because I have to build my upper body strength in order to do the workouts that I would like to do. Small steps to making myself happier, and remaining positive as I take the small steps. I am lifting my little 8 lbs weights 3 times daily right now. I feel it from yesterday, and soon enough I will be lifting as much as my boyfriend, hopefully, and be able to out do him at pull ups and etc. :) We shall see.
Working out has always made me feel better, prettier, and I enjoy that feeling, A LOT. I have an in door gym that I can only use at some times of the day right now, but it's alright, doing a little bit those times a day will make all the difference.
Simple things like a workout can make anyone happy. It's small, but it does the trick. It releases endorphins and makes one have a feeling of happiness.
However, cutest simple moment ever. I think my nephew is going to be a musician when he gets older. Just turned 3 and is already dancing around the house with a plastic guitar singing his little heart out. I caught him on video singing yesterday, and the other night my sister in law caught him singing "Creep" by Radiohead. I thought it was absolutely precious and it made my day complete.
Until next time let the simple moments take over and work you out :)
