I've always told myself, "I'm going to workout and lose a bunch of weight" then proceed to workout intensely for one day and never do it again. Maybe it was instant gratification or me dreading it the next day, but it never worked. The same was the case for eating better.
Then a week ago I told myself, "I will start with a small arm workout. It's okay if it's not a lot, I'm not doing this for the results. I will only do this to build discipline." And so I did Chloe Ting's arm toning workout. I did this for a couple of days and noticed I started to look forward to working out. Then I added a 10 minute standing ab workout. Now I do the arm workout two times a day, once with just my hands and another holding two water bottles, and the ab workout. That's 30 minutes of pretty moderate exercise every day. And I'm enjoying it.
Eating better is coming naturally too. I'm turning down unhealthy offers from my siblings much more often. I'm thinking a lot more about what I'm eating.
I don't have a weight goal right now, I'm only focusing on disciplining myself. It's actually working pretty good. I guess that once everything becomes a proper habit, I will set myself a goal. I wish I knew this before.
That's all y'all. Hope this helps someone out there :)
