I attempted...yes I say attempted to have a 15 minute workout. I had a 5 minute workout and thought I was dying. 1 minute high knees, 1 minutes jumping jacks, 1 minute front kicks, 1 minute jumping jacks, & 1 minute running in place. I know. That's sad.
I use to be an athlete believe it or not. I'd run 3 to 5 miles five days a week along with 4 to 8 hours of tennis around 6 days a week. I wasn't anything spectacular. I had a killer serve and my backhand was better than my forehand, most tennis players can't say that. The forehand is just more natural. I loved to run. Run, run, run.
My senior year I injured my knee. I played some of my best tennis that year and ran some of my fastest miles during that time. I believe it was all the medicines and circulation cutting knee braces I wore in all honesty. No pain, no gain.
When I graduated, I stopped running because I was hurting so much and I didn't play tennis as much because there was no time for it anymore. Now I look back and think about that girl and wonder where her passion went.
I was in shape, adventurous, loved to exercise, ate right, didn't drink sodas, and knew what I was doing (and if I didn't, I acted like I did). She had attitude and spunk. Now I'm so laid back and my attitude is mostly a negative one.
I'm determined to be that delightful, healthy girl again. So Friday, I go get a gym membership. I had my last soda yesterday, and all the crap I sit around and snack on, I'm throwing in the trash. I'm going to stop hating my big legs and fall in love with them again.
They say a good workout will change your attitude for the whole day. That means I'll be waking up earlier to get my workout in before the day begins so I can start it off positively.
Plus Tyler looks AWESOME. And I want to look great too! So here's to getting healthy and in shape again!
Be blessed! (drink a Big Red for me will ya?)
