I have been trying to get into the habit of exercise for the past...forever. If you read my post from last week I expressed frustration in exercise that I thought that I was not doing enough exercise to provide the results that I want, with the figure that I currently have. I hate to say that today was the first day that I have exercised since my Saturday workout. The main reason behind this is because I don't want to over do it and hurt myself. Another reason being is that it is hot, well hot for me.
Today I did exercise however and I noticed that from Saturday I haven't felt sore, or overly tired and I sleep better and wake up at about the same time every morning. When I wasn't trying I had been waking up around noon if I was lucky and still not wanting to get out of bed.
What I have been doing are bodyweight exercises. At this point I have been doing mostly squats so I can work the muscles in my legs to assist in burning fat around my body. In women the leg muscles are the biggest and potentially the strongest, and since pushing myself and my limits a few days ago I have already noticed a difference.
Another thing that I have been doing is to drink lots of water, at least 64 oz. of water daily, which isn't possible everyday but on days that I am at home that is what I do and it helps to keep my appetite for crap down. At this point those are the two biggest changes that I have made to my life that have made and immediate positive result. That and Netflix.
