Day 4 – Week 1 – 1 minute

One minute of arms and the mini-medicine ball. Weight unchanged at 146 pounds (66 kgs).

I am SO looking forward to the day I get to see some progress in that department – though I’m afraid my scales are less than sophisticated. They are the type that has a dial showing the weight, rather than a digital type readout, so they are not incredible accurate. Even worse than that – they are these very trendy glass based scales, with not particularly dark markings on, and when I look down at the reading, I have to admit, it’s a struggle to see it. I tried squatting down to read it, but it sends the dial haywire – so you’ll have to put up with my vague type readings.

So by now – you might be wondering – do I feel silly doing just that one minute each day? A little, I guess. But it is nice to finish a workout so quickly, and feeling like you want more, rather than falling in a heap on the floor with exhaustion. But the main thing to remember is that the hard part of this is not the exercise, it’s the getting up, getting changed, and getting yourself motivated to do SOMETHING which is difficult. Believe me, I still feel the resistance each day – and the only thing that makes me do it, is knowing that it is just one minute. I’m hoping I eventually beat that resistance down to nothing by the time I’m having to get up and do half an hour each day, otherwise that is when I will really struggle.
