A work in progress!

I don't even remember the last time I stuck with any program. I think I always got bored or didn't think the results came fast enough. Although I am not very close to my weight loss goal, that actually has become secondary to loving the strength I am feeling. That in itself is motivating and addicting! Even when it is pushing 90 with high humidity, I find myself in the basement working out in the air conditioning AND still sweating! The first time I felt a drop of sweat actually rolling down my face, you would have thought I had won the lottery or something. Well. maybe not quite, but I was excited! And then there was this "mirror" moment. It's just strange. I think we get to accustom to seeing how we look in the mirror that we don't see the reality of changes in our size and shape. I was in a hotel room at a convention and looked at myself in the mirror before I left the room. I had to look twice to make sure it was me! I HAVE changed! I was standing straighter, looked leaner and pretty darn good! Here is the amazing thing though--in the past I would've celebrated by binging or just going on a eating free for all. I made an appointment with myself right then and there to get to the gym at the hotel that evening and I did! So yes, I am still pushing play--no matter what!
