    This morning, I was exhausted and really just did not want to go for my weights class. On the way there, I kept thinking; "man, exercise is supposed to give me energy, so why am I so tired?!?" Well, I made it to the gym and did the class (pretty awesome one and I'm so glad I made it) and then finished up and went to rinse off in the shower. When I was getting dressed, I realized that the shirt I was putting on was one that I wouldn't even wear in public just 3 months ago because it was too tight. So I continued dressing with a HUGE smile on my face. And then I realized that the jeans I was wearing were the same jeans that were still a little uncomfortable tight just a short month ago. And now, they're baggy! I lost it at that one and started bawling right there in the shower. It took me a full 5 minutes to pull myself together. I never thought I would get so emotional about jeans fitting, but the fact that these do really overwhelmed me with how far I've come. I keep thinking about how far I still have to go, but today I got to celebrate how far I've come. And it was awesome!

    Best feeling in the world!! Congratulations!!!

    Thanks for sharing with us! You are a true success story! Celebrate your success and then get back on it! As far as energy is concerned you may want to supplement your workouts with a really good multivitamin and make sure you're getting enough protein.

    Congratulations! It's so hard to feel good about the progress we make when there's still so far to go - at least that's how it feels to me sometimes. But you are doing it - how awesome is that!? Revel in the good feelings and use that to keep you going.

    Also, check your iron levels if you're dragging - mine were super low, as soon as I went to the doc and started taking a supplement, I felt great again!

    You are my idol!!! I can only focus on "how far I got to go" that I don't enjoy or celebrate "how far I've come". Keep up the good work and good for you.
