A happy thought walloped me this morning as I was going over stats and goals and entering yet another round of the 5% challenge: I am doing this!

I AM DOING THIS!

I am losing weight. I am getting in shape! I am strong and healthy and fierce. I am even (dare I say it?) sexy.

And I feel smart. And smug. And MUAHAHAHAHA! Because I've got you down pat now, body. I know what you need, I know how you react. I know how to "trick" you into losing weight. After so long at 140ish, I have finally figured you out.

So let me do a happy dance hugging myself. And then a sexy dance. Woot!

Last night I was even able to have ice cream without overdoing it. And the scale was DOWN this morning. Down, down, down. SQUEE!

Today is an awesome day!
