Glorious Friday!

Yay for Friday!  I don't have any plans this weekend, just the usual house cleaning and laundry.  I do plan to get in alot of exercise this weekend though.

Yesterday was so hot here (100°) so I waited until 8:30 in the evening to go for a walk.  It was still in the low 90s and very humid but I thought I'd give it a try anyway.  I did 6 laps at the high school track and then it was dark so I went home and did a few kettlebell exercises.  This morning I was down exactly one pound on the scale.  I'll take it.

Since I have alot of free time this weekend I'm going to try to exercise twice on Saturday and Sunday - morning and evening.  There is no reason why I can't do this.  I used to get up at 7:00 in the morning just to go walking.  If I did it before I can do it again.  I know if I keep going long enough to see a couple pounds fall off I will start feeling better and my motivation will return.  I'm going to give myself 5 pound goals at a time so that makes my next goal 235.

For any of you that have lost a large amount of weight - do you know what I'm talking about when I say you get that obsessed feeling about losing weight?  That feeling that you have when you are eating on point, rockin' the exercise, feeling better every day with more energy than you've had in a long time?  I had that feeling when I lost over 60 pounds a few years back and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THAT FEELING and I want it back.  I loved the feeling of being so excited to feel those little hunger pangs in the evening but not caving to eat anything else after dinner knowing that when I would weigh in the morning that the scale would show a loss.  Hell, I would actually be anxious to get on the scale.  I could tell just by the way that my body felt that I was losing weight.  That is the glorious feeling of getting healthy.  I must keep going until I get that feeling back. 

Make it a great day and stay positive.  :D
