Lincoln Says You're Awesome


Today was *awesome*. I got in my water and got back onto the exercise bandwagon. Ever since I was sick about a week and a half ago I've been seriously half-assing my exercise. If I don't want to be rubbing feet at the beginning of next year I neeeeeeed to exercise! End of story.

I got in a lot of healthy foods today... and very little processed food at all. And, no surprise here, I was full and stayed within my dailies with no problems. Luckily my fridge is stocked with all kinds of healthy (and easy) options, so let's keep this train a-movin'.

I was talking about my weight loss with Vern today... I let something slip before I'd realized it was even on my mind, but it really turned on a light for me. I realized that I have only lost 3 pounds since the middle of August. I also realized that I can only ride this "I lost 35 pounds this year, I am so freakin' awesome!" mentality so far. I need to keep moving. I have slipped into this comfort zone where I'm actually pretty happy with how I look, but... I need to make goal. I need to keep moving.

And I need to light a fire under my butt for this HOT 100 Challenge! I'm 14 pounds away from rubbing Vern's feet every night and I am not liking that prospect. I can do it. Come hell or high water. Jeesh.

I can't help but notice I'm always more cheerful when I'm doing well with my food intake and exercise... if I miss my exercise, I feel guilty and crabby. If I eat junk food, my stomach hurts. I guess that's a sort of odd non-scale victory for me.

Anyway, this was an extremely rambling post :) I hope everyone had as good a Monday as I.
