NUMBERS

Tomorrow will be my 3rd week anniversary, my 10th workout session with Chad, my 21st day of eating healthy and I've lost 8 lbs!

AND, most importantly, I'm surviving through it all!....(although there was a close call with the elliptical, I drove home crying a few times after my workouts and I nearly had a panic attack on my first day....but other than that, it's been great!) :)

Seriously though...I know I joke a lot on this blog and I enjoy having fun but I must admit that eating healthy and focusing on my fitness has been a TON of work! Yet it's SO REWARDING! I never would've believed that I would feel and visually notice a change in my body already. It's very exciting! And these changes in my body are not a result of starving myself, eating weird and unhealthy diets or taking a weight loss pill. They are a result of hard work, tears and sometimes embarrassment but in the end I am making this happen for myself and my family. It's my determination and choice to exert the effort and time involved to produce positive results and it's a great feeling of accomplishment - even if I've only lost 8 lbs. Just think...there are so many greater rewards ahead....I can't wait to embrace them and share them with you! It'll be very exciting!

In the meantime, I now have to go exercise around the neighborhood for the next hour...that's 60 minutes, 3,600 seconds, 3.3 miles, 6,600 steps, 48 degrees and 1 reluctant dog. :)
