One Week Down!

Whew! We made it through the first week. This week was a lot for me, mentally. As I mentioned before, I have HORRIBLE health OCD, so the idea of starting to work out terrified me. I was so afraid that I would have a heart attack just because I was so out of shape. This week I was so full of anxiety, not just around walking, but just in general. I've talked to a lot of people this week who have also said that it was a very anxiety ridden week. I have no idea what is going on but it was a rough one. By Wednesday, the anxiety was at an all time high. As the week continued, the anxiety did start to lessen. I am hoping that next week, the anxiety will be gone, so we shall see.

Things I learned:

• My body is now wanting to walk. By Friday, my body knew it was a walking day and so it was restless the entire day until I got on the treadmill.

• Stretching is important.

• I have drank more water this week than I have in YEARS. My body is craving water now.

• Watching a video instead of listening to music makes the time go faster on the treadmill.

Things I struggled with:

• The anxiety around starting this journey.

• I need to drink more water.

Going forward, I will be posting 2 updates a week. The first will be an update on life, a story that relates to this journey, something personal. The second one will be an update directly related to the workouts of the week. I will post my stats, how the week was, things I learned, things I struggled with and anything else related to the actual working out journey.

If there is anything you want to see, any tips you have, or if you want to share your own story, please feel free to contact me! I would love to connect! I am so glad you're here.
