2 weeks down.... Again!

Well. I have lasted another 2 weeks. No injuries so far thank goodness! I "checked in" on Friday at my real 2 week mark. I have lost in total 11 inches. I feel great! It was really re-motivating to see that progress was being made. As part of this though I am also trying to change habits. I eat healthier because I want to be healthier and not just to lose weight. I workout because it does good things to my body and not only to lose weight. I am trying to build a better lifestyle for myself. And right now it sure feels like sacrifice and counting calories and drinking water and working out even when everything in me is telling me not to. Like yesterday for example. D was out so I had some time to myself. Old me would have popped a bag of popcorn grabbed a chocolate bar or ice cream plumped down in front of the TV and watch something. New me did none of that. I cleaned the kitchen, tidied up then I changed into my workout gear did some good sweating on the elliptical, then some strength exerciEs and then went and did some martial arts training. It was awesome. I was done by 10pm. Which is super late for me and pretty much my bedtime. But I was so proud of myself!!!!!! 

So yes! I feel like I'm breaking the lazy barrier and have found my real motivation. It's great. 

But alas. It is no 10pm again. And I need to go to bed. Here's to a beautiful sabbath day tomorrow!
