"So here’s to us. Here’s to ordering a salad when you really want a burger. To making an *kitten* out of ourselves in cardio hip-hop class. To drinking more water than seems humanly possible. To going five more minutes on the elliptical. To working out twice as much as your skinny roommate. To saying, “Screw you” to the old you. To falling in love with the you who you really are, the you who you want to become. To looking in the mirror and not seeing any change, throwing on your running shoes and working out anyway. To looking in the mirror and seeing major change. Here’s to carrots, and shin splints, and sweaty t-shirts, and perseverance, and all things fat-free, and sore muscles, and stinky socks, and 7am, and spin classes, and falling down, and getting back up, and bottled water. Here’s to getting up every day and doing it all over again.
Here’s to us."

    I have it printed out, and I look at it every day! I got it off of Pintrest. Amazing the type of motivation available on that site.

    I know it's been a great week when at the end of the week, I look at a pile of dirty laundry and I see ALL of my workout clothes, and find that they ALL smell like armpit.

    It seems gross, but hey, I'm glad I can do that.
