New Lows bring New Highs!

So persistence does pay off! I was feeling horrible about myself, my work outs, my eating. I was critiquing every single thing I touched over the past two weeks. I know it's early on and I shouldn't expect so much but I thought for sure I'd be dropping a lot these first few days of the program. I was Analyzing everything. Wondering where I was going wrong. Apparently nowhere. I just needed to stick with it. I'm a habitual starter, stopper when it comes to setting goals. I talk myself into failure before I start. By two weeks in I've already convinced myself I can't do it therefor I don't and then I feel terrible. But this time I didn't do that, for the first time and I feel so good about myself for doing so. Douglas was the best. He tried to keep me motivated and on track. It's amazing how he knows when to push and when to back off (most of the time). What a wonderful husband and gym partner! I am at 164lbs. The lowest I've been in a really long time and I feel fantastic. So much so that I'm going back into the gym for my interval training with more determination than ever. I'm so close to reaching my goals I can feel it. I want it and I know I can make it. I'm doing it and it feels GREAT.
WOOOOO!!
