Feeling unfit and wanting to change

Lilymckay2015

I went to my first personal training session this morning with my sister mum and auntie. I knew It would not be easy seeing the only activity I do is walking and sometimes light weight lifting and squats at home for a very short periods but, I was taken back at how hard I found it. I finished the session but couldn't do the running between our sets, I tried but I felt so unfit, she pushed my sister and me harder then the oldies. I felt like I would have struggled doing what they did as well. In a way I feel more motivated and want to get my fitness levels up but at the same time I'm so sad that I'm so unfit, I don't think I can ever remember being fit even as a child. I want to change that now! I know I can and by continuing with a personal trainer I can get there, that's something I will have to keep reminding myself. Even my sister who goes to the gym most days was struggling, I have to look at the big picture. I've lost over 5kg since the end of last year just by watching what I eat and going on short walks. I have to stick at this and get my fitness levels up. Has anyone else felt this way? I really want to change and I'm conflicted inside. I'm mostly motivated but at the same time I'm really disappointed in myself for finding it so hard.

I get disappointed in myself when I realize how fit I was when I was younger and how weak I've become , but when you do keep working at it you do get your strength back surprisingly fast .. So keep going keep track of what you could and could not do and you WILL get stronger

I'll hazard the guess that everyone has felt this way once. 5kg since 2015 is good progress. Be proud of it because YOU DID IT. Now do it again, but soon you'll find yourself walking further, then faster, then, dare I say, you'll be running before 2017.
