I've started to feel something that I never have before...motivated, uplifted and healthy. I have been staying away from all unhealthy food, I have been actually excercising (and sweating yeeessshhh lol), and I have been researching tons of different ways to make my life better, not only my body. I used to be so afraid of working out in front of other people (my irish face gets soooooo red when I do any physical activity :blushing: ). However, I was at the gym yesterday on the elliptical sweating and turning red, my heart rate was awesome, and instead of getting off the machine and going to the locker room, I dared myself to do another 10 minutes :bigsmile:. And I did that the whole time I was there, seeing how much further I could go. I left the gym in a better mood than I have felt in litterally months. So that's my type of sucess :smile:
