so-soDay One of #BFC (thank you for the hashtag @catebutler ) was a rude awakening!!! Im in TERRIBLE physical shape! Good Lord, I could barely breathe through the first 7 minutes of my 20 minute work out. I did slay the book portion of the challenge😂Finished the tagged memoir. It‘s quite the story & I felt for Kerri & her family but this book is not for true crime fans. It‘s more of a finding faith & healing memoir with a serial killer father.

BarbaraJean Hahaha... I had a similar awakening, and felt soooo lame gasping for breath at the top of a hill, during the first 5 minutes of my walk around my neighborhood! Lesson learned: I need to work up some hill stamina! 5y
Cinfhen I have a feeling many lessons will be learnt @BarbaraJean but we‘re all in this together and that‘s the BEST part! (edited) 5y

catebutler Just think how different we‘ll feel the more we do this challenge. I can‘t wait! 💪🏼 And I give all credit to the #BFC hashtag to @wanderinglynn! 😄 5y
Cinfhen Truth @catebutler 5y
BookwormAHN A few reps of lunges almost killed me this morning so I sympathize. It will get easier though. 5y
BarbaraJean @Cinfhen Yes!! I‘m loving all this cheering each other on! 5y
jenniferw88 You can do it! 5y
Marina_h You got to start somewhere 😊 5y
Kaye When I first went to the gym, I got tired really fast. After 20 minutes I had to stop. Each week, I gradually built up. On good days now I can go 2 hours. It takes time, so be patient and don‘t give up. (edited) 5y
Bookwormjillk Great job! I got a rude awakening yesterday when I decided to climb some stairs yesterday. After 6 weeks we won‘t even feel it! 5y
tdrosebud I received that same lesson just doing calisthenics. It will get better though. 5y
marleed Oh good luck. It really does get easier. 5y
Chrissyreadit @Cinfhen your response about the book was very accurate. 5y
alisiakae Just think how satisfying it will be at the end of the challenge when you kick ass during the whole workout and can look back on all the progress you made! 🏋️♀️ 💪🏼 5y
Laughterhp At least you‘re moving! Good luck! 5y
guinsgirlreads Great job roughing it out! It gets easier! 💪🏻 And thank you for the clarifying review, it definitely helped me out. 5y
Ash.on.the.line We never seem to realize until we actually get up and do it! 😂 Just keep going! 😁 5y
MaleficentBookDragon Beautiful photo. 5y
wanderinglynn Way to stick with it! The important thing is you did it! The hardest part is just getting started. In 6 weeks you‘ll look back and be amazed how far you‘ve come! 🙌🏻 5y
Megabooks Great review!! 😘😘 5y
Cinfhen Thanks @MaleficentBookDragon my flowers are so colorful I had to share them 🌼🌺🌸 5y
jillannjohn Great start. It‘ll get easier! 5y
Cinfhen I think I was more humbled than defeated yesterday and honestly today wasn‘t much better but onwards! Thanks #TeamBFC @catebutler @BookwormAHN @jenniferw88 @Marina_h @Kaye @Bookwormjillk @tdrosebud @marleed @4thhouseontheleft @Laughterhp @guinsgirlreads @Ash.on.the.line @wanderinglynn 😜👊🏽 5y
Cinfhen I wanted to like this book more but I found myself doing too many eye rolls @Megabooks @Chrissyreadit I think her editor did a terrible job!!!! @guinsgirlreads (edited) 5y
CafeMom Too bad this book was so-so. I saw her interviewed on the Dr.Phil show and I had great sympathy for her. She really was kept in the dark her whole life. 5y
Clwojick I know what you mean! My Fitbit app straight up says my “cardio health” is poor for women of my age! 😂 I‘m here to fix that though, so we can power through together! 5y
Cinfhen She definitely has a compelling story @CafeMom which is why I think the editor did her a disservice. It needed to be branded differently and weeded out. There were dozens of unnecessary stories from childhood & multiple mentions of meals at Arby‘s & Taco Bell 🙄 5y
Cinfhen I think I want a FitBit for my birthday @Clwojick I could use a daily kick in the ass 😂😂 I‘m so glad to know we are all in this together 🥰 5y
Clwojick I wholeheartedly suggest you get one! 💙♥️ 5y
TheSpineView Now I want a FitBit.😋 good job! 5y
kspenmoll Beautiful flowers! Thanks for the review. I had to push myself this morning after a long day/night Fri with work & HS prom . Keep it up!!! 5y
Caterina Beautiful pic! And great job not giving up after those first 7 minutes - you can do this!! ❤ 🙌 5y
Cinfhen Thanks for the good cheer @TheSpineView @kspenmoll @Caterina Hope you‘re all having a good day 😁 5y
dariazeoli I‘m out of shape too, but I highly recommend the Fitbit anyway. Nice start to the challenge! 💪 5y
Reviewsbylola The religious slant was so not for me. I gave it a so-so too. 5y
