I'll be turning 40 in March. I'm still working out some SMART goals, but I want to be generally healthier and avoid being prescribed any cholesterol medications.
My lifestyle has become even more sedentary since I started working from home during the pandemic. I work a desk job in front of a computer and now being home I don't move nearly as much as I did. When it started feeling like simple movements were taxing, I decided it was time to do something about it. I took a belly dance class over the summer, but it was once a week and I found that was all I was doing. I had seen Darebee a few years ago but didn't follow through. It's one of the few options I have found that isn't overwhelming and/or intimidating. I have a tendency to get too many ideas, overwhelm myself then never start.
I'm on day 18 of the Baseline program. This is the first time I've ever been consistent with exercise. There were 2 days that I didn't do the workouts because of a migraine, but I was able to pick back up and continue forward. That alone was a win for me.
I saw the above saying a few weeks ago and didn't think much of it. I noticed that starting this week the exercises feel a bit easier. I really didn't know what was meant by "feel it", but that's what I'm going with.
As a way to track progress, I've gotten into the habit of weighing myself Monday mornings and found myself down nearly 3 lbs. I did also take some before pictures, I'm thinking once a month will work to see progress for those.
