I've been exercising at least 3x a week since before Christmas and its very discouraging to not see results. My stomach seems to have gotten flabbier and only my lower arms and legs are getting sculpted. I think I need a trainer. The YMCA offers gym access to Get fit Eden members once a week. I wonder if they have an instructor that could help me with learning to jog on a treadmill. I wish someone could give me advice or encouragement that I'm doing all of this the right way and to safely push me when I don't know if something is safe for me to push at. My only encouragement has been my mother saying that I look like I'm putting on weight and I agree with her. I do look like I'm gaining weight. My stomach looks much flabbier. Its important to note that my measurements haven't increased because I fit my clothing much looser.
"Progress takes time" I keep telling myself. Even though my physical endurance is noticably better and my legs and arms look a little better, I can't help cringing at my tummy every time I see it. I really need a tummy workout that is easy to do every day. Those DVDs I've tried are so cheesy and stupid that I can't bring myself to use them! I have anxiety about group exercise. What if they're cheesier than the workout DVDs? What if I get tired long before everyone else? I don't have the transportation to attend any group activities anyway...Lie! The kid and I could take the bus round trip for $4. I am in desperate need of a workout buddy to meet in Reidsville for their Zumba classes. I need a bike buddy to meet at Bur-Mill. Heck, I'd settle for being able to encourage and check in with somebody about exercise via the Internet. I'm very independent about things I want to do and people freak me out. I'm not sure I really want a workout buddy or if I would benefit from having one. Sometimes it just sucks not having by one to share my fitness challenges with. I'm pretty hard on myself sometimes.
