NSV - I feel soooooo good!

I'm feeling really good about myself this morning. I may not be at my goal weight yet but i'm well on the way! Whats making me feel about myself today is that i realised something this weekend.
I got up early yesterday morning to go for my usual Sunday morning swim, my husband came with me but he took the dog for a walk while I swam. Afterwards, we had coffee together, did a bit of "fun" shopping as opposed to the boring food shop! Came home, had brunch, then we both took the dog for a very long walk chatting and laughing all the way. When we got home, I got changed and did my workout DVD while my hubby got the dinner ready.
What I suddenly realised is how my daily routines have changed since I started taking my health and exercise regime seriously. Not only are we both getting up earlier at the weekend but we're having more fun together. I'm not miserable about myself, i'm not being lazy, I actually want to get off my bum and do something. Even if I can only fit in a walk with the dog I feel like I HAVE to do some exercise on a daily basis - something I never really thought i'd find myself saying!! I actually get a huge buzz off of working out and I look forward to a bit of me time while I sweat off those pounds!!
Yes i have lost a few pounds recently but my huge success is that I now LOVE exercise and I want to do more and more and more! I believe this change in my attitude towards life has had a dramatic effect on my marriage and home life.
What's getting me through work today, this dreary (in the UK!) Monday, is that tonight there's a lane swim at my local pool (hoorah!) and i have time to fit in an hour before dinner!! AND i'm onto round 2 of the 30 Day Shread!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!! :happy:
Thank you MFP - you really are one of the best things to have happened to me recently and I will love you forever more!! I wish you all huge success for the future xxx :flowerforyou:
