Soooooo, about that "weigh-in" day. I'd kind of like to just pretend it's not here, but it is here, and I did weigh-in. *&^%$#@!

I'm not fretting too much about my weigh-in today. My body is changing, I SEE it changing. I'll sometimes often get stuck admiring myself in the bathroom mirror... some of my former blobs of fat are now thin(er) or gone. (admiring is a very strong word!) It's rewarding to see some results of all of my hard work, all of the miles that I have been running, all of the weights that I have tugged and pushed and pulled. My shoulders are developing some nice definition, my thighs are (a teeny bit) more muscular...but I am thinking .... can I work harder?
work/wərk/
| Noun: |
| Activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result. |

Werk it!! Of course I can work harder. It hit me like a ton of donuts yesterday that I need to work harder on my three mile runs. I really want to run a faster mile, but it's not going to be granted to me like a wish with pink fairy dust and a sparkly magic wand. I have TO EARN THAT FASTER MILE. So, yesterday, I ran fast.....er. And this week, I'm going to work harder and next Wednesday, I'm going to hit the 50 pounds lost mark. Because, more than I love a goal, I love crushing them.
Oh yeah, I was up 1.6 pounds this week. *shakes fist at Super Bowl*
I love that it hit you like a ton of donuts. You are SO funny. And wise. You're right, all the rewards aren't going to be gifted to you. That's something I've got to remember! Great post.....
