My First Three Months
14
Sat, 09-12-2009 - 12:51pm

After starting my journey and after the Winter holidays and eating the yummy things, I decided to buy a mini stepper to try. I was a beginner and did not understand when the Sports Authority clerk told me if I do other workouts...or just did not pay attention that well. I was focused on the stepper and felt it could help me and I do not have to walk which I still felt unmotivated in doing. I used it for a month and when I weighed myself, I was shocked. My weight stayed the same. I used the stepper but not enough to show any results. I was worried and did not know what to do. I decided to get dvd's to try. I did buy 2. One workout was too vigorous and I injured my foot. I had to stop using the dvd workout. Another was a walking dvd, but still not motivating enough. I still used it for awhile and I still continued my outdoor walks.


I tried to get my neighbor at the time to be a walkbuddy. Wrong. She hates to exercise, so for the 3 months I walked alone, but I was determined.

those steppers are a pain to use. Glad you threw it away

Yes the first 3 months were hard and a learning one Kuan. The actual hardest is the first 2 weeks of starting, but I went beyond that.
