i feel really good for the first time in a long time. Last night I had a hair appointment until 7 and got home and ate dinner in front of last night's Greys Anatomy. It was nearly 8:30, and I thought to myself, "Why not go to the gym? It's open until midnight?" I had eaten just under 1,200 calories so I didn't have anything extra I needed burning off, but I legitimately wanted to go to the gym. Although there was that deep down worry that it would be filled with other losers with no other plans on a Friday night, or yet worse- I could be the only one there. But there were a hand full of random people strewn around the place. I text Jess from the stair master and she met me there as soon as my 22 minutes were up. Usually I'll do cardio weights cardio but tonight I switched it up and hopped on the elliptical next as we caught up with all the crazy stories from our lives over the next 20 minutes. Then we worked out our arms on the weight machines for the next 45 minutes, laughing at each other. It was the most fun Friday night I've had in a long time, and I left feeling amazing with all the endorphins running through me for really pushing myself. Way better than going home all bloated from going out to dinner or falling asleep or knowing that you are going to eat an entire box of Kraft macaroni and cheese because you drank way too much. I was so pumped o couldn't fall asleep until almost 1 am...and still woke up fully recharged at 7:17 am. I am now at my lowest since I started this DB...thank God! Officially down 8.9% in 35 days! Insanity!
and this pic is from Thursday night. I'm trying to take a face on and side picture once a week so if I'm ever feeling down, I can look back on all my progress.
