Day 4

I had an ok day today.  I was feeling kinda blah, and almost skipped the Gym but decided against it.  Today was payday and my gym clothes have been getting rather baggy lately so I went to the store and bought capris and a tanktop, but the exciting thing about it was: IT WAS A SIZE SMALLER! YAY! I was so excited! I've learned to appreciate the small rewards.  I am very pleasently surprised. You get so focused on the number on the scale sometimes that you forget to look at your body and gauge successes by your physical abilities as well! I've just googled my BMI and before I started working out I was 43.9.. Disgusting!! I literally felt gross when I found out that where I was.  Now I am 41.3 I've dropped my number down by 2.6 in about a month! It feels great.   To think that every step I take and every calorie I burn is 1 step closer to reaching my goal is exhilerating! We signed the boys up for baseball tonight and I am looking forward to the weekends we spend practicing together as a family.  Last year I was too fat and lazy to get off my but and practice with them.. This year I want to play with them and practice with them.  There's so much more to weight loss than a number on a scale. :-)
