Just finished day 1. Well sort of finished-- I HAD to take a few breaks after the cardios even though she was yelling at me lol! Also all I have are 5 lb weights, gonna get 3 lb weights tonight. But now I just feel guilty for taking breaks, but I'm literally so out of shape.

But I'll keep with it, hopefully in a few days I'll be able to do it without pausing at all.

Also, I know this is common, but I just feel so nervous about committing to this. I've never committed to a fitness program before, because, well, I've never had to before-- I used to do tennis and ballet for fun, but that tapered off in my early 20s. I'm 26 now and I've never been this heavy in my life. Like I mentioned in a different post, I spent the last 2 years drinking alcohol every day, so in my newly (almost 3 weeks!) sober state, I look in the mirror and want to cry. There's a pillow of blubber around the real me!

I'm just afraid this program is not going to work. There's no way I'm going back to drinking, but I feel so hopeless and it feels like I'll never get to my ideal weight. I AM going to stick with this program, but does anyone have any experiences or hope about starting exercise/ getting over the hump they can share? Sorry if this sounds whiny or too negative! I'm still proud of myself and everyone else who gets through the first day!

I was gagging because my mouth was so dry. I need to control my breathing better. I just kept telling myself I don't want to look this way anymore. P.s. anyone doing anything else along with this workout? I'm thinking about adding a 30 min walk to my daily schedule after work.
