Feel Like I Flipped a Switch

FatUncleRob · June 2011

So, this morning I decided to do some push-ups. Been working on 'em, off and on, for a couple of months now.

Did 3 reps of 12 and was starting to feel a bit tired. Came to the 4th rep and decided to do 15! I gritted my teeth and got through them OK.

Jumped up and had this huge grin on my face!

Stripped down ready to get in the shower, looked in the mirror and realized that I'm pretty happy with how I look now too. Still too much flab around my butt and chest, but my beer gut is almost gone!!

The best thing is that feeling hasn't faded yet. I'm feeling awesome today!
I'm really psyched to go on a run after work tonight.

Don't get me wrong! I know I've still got a long way to go. I know I'm still at least 35 pounds from where I want to be weight-wise, but I don't remember feeling this good in a LONG time! :happy:

I just want you all to know that if I can do it, you can too!

Isn't it great to have a day where you feel so good about yourself. We all need more of those. It sounds like you are doing great. Keep it up!

Oh, i can't WAIT to feel like that. But, I'm not envious, just inspired. Way to go!

This post made me smile... I have been feeling really good lately since starting to exercise again, so I know the feeling! Keep it up, it can only get better .)
