Okay, so I got lost on what day was what so I haven't updated for the past couple of days. I have officially become obsessed with working out. It's not necessarily because of the results I am seeing, although it is incredibly encouraging to hear Paul compliment me on how I'm looking more "fit". That, in and of itself, is worth it to me. Whether or not it's shallow or not, I LOVE making my husband proud of my appearance, even though I know he'd love me unconditionally regardless. But I am loving the way it's making me feel....physically and mentally most of all, I have seen such a tremendous difference in my attitude and motivation in the past week and I love how I feel.
Mentally, I am in a place where I'm not sure I have ever been, finding absolute and complete satisfaction in mental discipline. It hasn't been easy. In fact, if I am to be honest with myself, I would have to say it has been the most difficult part of this challenge. I operate completely off what I think. Especially being spontaneous in nature, it's not easy to make myself think twice about things and follow my second inclination rather than my first. For the first time in a really long time, I am proud of myself!!!!
I've been around cake, I've been around pop and I've made cookies and coffee cake and I have stuck to a fairly healthy eating plan. I've gone all but one day working out for 30-45 minutes each day and I have stepped up and done some things that are uncomfortable and out-of-the-ordinary for me spiritually and socially. I only have three days left to go on the "challenge", but I'm so excited about this, I think it's actually become a new lifestyle and habit for me!
