Momentum in May

Three days in, and I am happy to report that despite stressors at work, and jaw pain from clenching my teeth to get through the day, I have not strayed from my goals, and my commitment to eating properly, and exercising. As easy as it might have been to not deal with the aggravation and stress, and stuff my face with bad foods, I chose not to. I chose to continue the long, hard task ahead of me of taking of this weight for once and for all.

I'm moving more. I'm feeling better. I have much more endurance, cardiovascularly. I know I am progressing, even when I have weird scale days, or a phantom 5 pound weight gain overnight, which takes a week to remove, and then another 3 pound drop the next day. I am not relying on that fibbing piece of equipment to set my mood for the day. I know that even if the scale hasn't caught up with what my body and mind are doing today, it will by the weekend. Or next Monday. Or whatever other day - progress, always moving forward, always working towards my goal.

Feels good, I tell ya. Feels real good.
