Thursday Aug 7th, In Review!

I can't complain to much about yesterday! My intake could have been less snacky! i guess that goes for not having much lunch... oops.. I was stuck to the routine and went to the gym directly after work! I had a great workout.

I am so proud of myself for sticking to my tasks and goals. It feels so great! Especially when I am seeing my body start to change and the weight finally dropping on the scale. It is such a good motivator for me. As hard as it is for me to get myself to the gym, It feels so good to go, and there are a lot of rewards to it! I love the rewards of my clothes fitting better! Today I put on a new pair of size 8 jeans I bought awhile ago because they were cheap. When I brought them home I could not even pull them up over my THIGHS! When I slipped them on today, I was able to pull them up and button them, and they were not even TIGHT! Yay for me.. right there, it makes me stay motivated to run on the treadmill! I am starting to really like it. I try really hard to have a better outlook on it now that I have gone this far!
