I posted on my facebook yesterday that I'm noticing small differences. They're small, but because I see myself everyday and know my curves, I can tell a difference. It's the small things we tend to want to see. If I wanted to see myself 50 pounds lighter, I wouldn't get there because I wouldn't have to work. I HAVE to push myself, everyday, to lose weight. (did that make sense, haha) I almost didn't get on the treadmill today. I almost skipped, and that would have been a huge mistake. I can't afford a domino effect right now. I'm doing so good. I did slip last night. My husband brought home a Dr. Pepper. That is my weakness. I almost told him to have it, but I figured "eh, I can reward myself". It's a good thing that Dr. Pepper was flat as heck, other wise I would have drank the whole thing. Again, that would have started a whole domino effect. And that would just make me want to stop.
Something else I'm noticing is how pretty I really am. I looked in the mirror yesterday and for the first time saw what I think my husband sees. And I can't even begin to tell you how good and happy that made me feel. From the inside. I'm not a look-matter kind of gal. I really don't care what people think of me, if you don't like me then tough crap. But as soon as I started working out and sticking my word, I could see my strong, pretty side come out. I think I'm hitting that time in my life where I'm finding me. I know that sounds silly, but it does feel like that. I'm 23, almost 24 and I got married at 20, had my first son at 21 and had my second at 23. I've had to grow up so fast. There's people my age finishing college. That's what makes them happy. It makes me happy to be married and have children at an early age. But now, it's time to take care of me. And that's exactly what I'm doing and I love it.
Anyway- I need a shower like something fierce. Hope everyone is having a fantastic day. Remember, keep it up. You can do it!
