I'm feeling great...

I've had a good couple days!

Tuesday night was very rewarding...loved spending some time with good friends.

Wednesday I was home from work and took the time to go down to the pool and swim lots of laps! It felt excellent...not sure how it compares to cardio machine work...does anyone know? I know when I swim I can feel the burn in my muscles, but I don't necessarily lose my breath or sweat etc., which are the signs of working hard on my cardio machines... Either way, I know it's good for me!

Today I have packed a very healthy lunch and snacks, and I brought my gym clothes with me so I can go there directly from work...

I can proudly say that in the last week...I've done something active every day but one! Whoohoo!

I am going to weigh in on Saturday morning, so look for an update on my weight this weekend. Fingers crossed it's a decent loss :)


I feel like the more days I get through with making healthy choices and forcing workouts...the more it's starting to feel like a natural way of living for me. It's only been a few weeks...perhaps a month, but I'm already finding myself making great decisions without thinking about it. On Tuesday, for instance, my hubby and I were finished work an hour before we had to pick up our son. My husband was ravenous...and wanted to get a bite to eat somewhere. He mentioned a fast food place and WITH ALL HONESTY...I was like 'yuck'. I didn't want it at all. I even said to him "You don't want fast food. All that grease? We'll just feel like crap when we're done". And I meant it. I had NO desire to have a greasy burger, or salty fries. Instead, I suggested we go somewhere where we could buy a nice sandwich...a fresh sandwich. And we did. It was delish and healthy and GUILT FREE :) Also, now when a day goes by where I can't find the time to hit the gym or pool, the next day I find myself looking forward to working out! My body is already craving the activity.

My body is telling me how much it wants to be healthy, I just need to listen to it. It is so happy lately. I feel better. I feel more energetic. I feel prettier. I feel more capable.
