Yesterday, a friend of mine sent me a list of workout routines. I've been thinking about getting into shape, but I could never find the right motivation to do it. Today, I didn't find anymore motivation, but I finally told myself to get up, go downstairs, and at least walk on the treadmill. So I did. I put on comfortable workout clothes, put on my tennis shoes, and walked and ran a little bit on the treadmill for 15 minutes. Then, I did an ab video from the Insanity workout. I learned something. I'm definitely in terrible shape!! But I have the rest of the summer to change that. Today, I'm going to make it my goal to get in better shape than I am today. I want to be able to start my second year of college, feeling confident and proud of myself. I'm hoping by starting this blog I'll be able to do just that. It's my own personal form of motivation. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" -Lao Tzu. I feel as though I took that single step today. And I'm going to keep taking small steps to get where I want to be. More later! ~Emily B.
