I’m feeling great today! I finally realize how far I’ve come and even though I still have a long way left to go I think I can finally start giving myself some credit. Someone asked me today how much I lost and I automatically said “30 lbs.” I realized immediately that this wasn’t true but then I thought how it is almost true enough to be allowed. I have lost almost 30 lbs in a little over a month! I’m not going out to eat anymore. I’m exercising as many days as possible. I feel great!

Today I went to the gym and even though I really didn’t feel like it I went to a cycling class. Classes to me always feel so long and dragged out and even though this one is done in a black light with amazing music, it kicks my butt. BUT I went and even though I couldn’t keep up the entire time I stayed on the bike. And this was after doing 300 calories on the elliptical. As a treat to myself after I went and bought a fillet of fish I’ve never tried (swai) and a perfectly ripe peach. It was delicious.

I sound like a completely different person.

On a side note, do you ever notice people staring at you at the gym? I don’t understand it. People of all ages, genders, and body types always look at what everyone else is doing. I notice people are always trying to see what book I’m reading or how many calories I’ve done so far. Is it a competition or something? People think you can’t notice but of course you always can. And how about the people who change the channel when you are watching the show and a good part is just about to happen. I hate that.

But besides that…I’m having a great day!
