week number...



week number...who knows because I stopped counting! All I know is that even though I haven't been as regularly as I had the first 13 odd weeks or so when I joined in the end of March, I am still improving my health on a regular basis. Not only am I continuing to eat healthy and whatnot, but I feel good!!! And whatever week number it is, the important thing here is that I am STILL GOING to the gym!!!

On September 8th, I decided to weigh myself that morning, and boy am I glad I did.... the scale actually started with a 1!!!! a ONE!!!! I'm in the ONE hundreds? That is just crazy....and proof that you don't need to be a gym nut to improve your health and well being! Don't get me wrong, going to the gym was the best thing I have done, but that morning made me feel even better about the days I didn't get up and go to the gym, or felt bad about not going to the gym as much as I have been. I think it's safe to say that the gym is a part of my life now, whether or not I go 4 times a week or sometimes 2. I walk my dog more, I eat better, I feel good, and I am aware of the importance of exercise, which then reminds me to get my ass to the gym! :)

Self-motivation, and I still got it! This morning, I was running on the treadmill before the sun came up, and I haven't ran in god only knows how long... so it felt really good! Really good to know that I still have it!

Just look at this picture from probably my heaviest time as a 20 something year old... oh boy.




and now...


if that's not motivation either, I don't know what is. A few times a week at least, I find myself saying...wow, look at my face, it's skinny!! hahaa :)
