Hi Everyone,
So I've been doing this for 5 days now and I feel unbelievable! I feel strong, powerful and like I can really do this! Working out just makes me feel good and makes me eat better. I want to skip around throwing flower petals in the air I feel so pumped. I know I won't feel like this through my whole journey but I'm hoping I can stay strong and get back on the wagon if I fall off. Tomorrow's going to be a bit more tricky because it's a friend's birthday but I'll try to keep my eyes on the prize and not completely give up if I have a piece of cake. There will be a lot of "tests" so I just need to learn to cope with whatever is thrown at me. New me, new habits.
Thanks for all the encouragement from my new MFP friends and I hope to make lots more through this journey (hint hint).
Happy Friday!!
