I'm officially 8 days into my journey! After feeling discouraged about my weekend, I decided to hit the gym hard last night. I made two new friends whose names were ironically both Heather. We shared similar weight loss goals, and swapped suggestions, encouraging words, and phone numbers. Who knew the gym was a place to meet genuine new friends!


As I sat in my sweat soaked clothes on my ride home, I thought to myself how much myfittnesspal has given me that extra 'push' to get myself together. Throughout my entire day yesterday I kept thinking, I want to be able to log on later and make my 'pal's' proud! Make the right choices, put in the effort, see your results, and I did. I mentioned in yesterday's post that I was going to skip my weigh-in in fear I would be either up a few or remained the same. The suspense was too much for me, and I eventually couldn't fight it anymore. I stepped on that square truth teller and held my breath...... 198! 4 pounds down! Needless to say I danced around the house singing "Cuz I'm Happy... clap along if you feel like a room without a roof..."


What a positive way to start my week. To think last Monday I was looking at myself in the mirror thinking "you're fat, you're ugly, you're never going to get to your goal weight so why even try?". This morning I looked at myself and thought "you're healthy, you're strong, and you CAN do this." What do you tell yourself when you look in the mirror?
