Day 30 of Challenge!

Hello Everyone! The day has dawned on the last day of my challenge! 30 days ago I decided I would work out at home using only free videos I found online or to DVDs I already owned.

What I wanted to see was could I be motivated enough to workout without a trainer? Without going to a studio? Without paying a cent? And I did it! Every day I headed off to my daughter's nursery with my laptop to browse Youtube in search of a great workout video.

Some days I seriously only had 10 minutes to devote to exercise, while other times I spent a solid 45 minutes. But I tried not to focus on that and instead focus on doing something every day.

Well, here are the results! 

Day 1 of Challenge and Day 30

I definitely feel like my waste has shrunk a little bit! But please understand, except for a few days where I was sick, I did no dieting. I never cut out sugar or carbs or cheese. I improved simply by doing something every day.

I think there is this temptation to bite off more than we can chew when it comes to a fitness regime. We think we have to run 5 miles a day, do 1000 squats a week and cut out all sugar. But that kind of lifestyle quickly loses its appeal and discouragement sets in. Try just 10 minutes a day. It is more than no minutes! :)

Well, this concludes my challenge! Thank you to everyone who has followed along and for all of the sweet, encouraging comments! I hope I have inspired you in some way and I have decided that my next target is to clean up my eating a little more. We will see how that goes so stay tuned! ;)
