Good Morning Healthies ♥

A day off for me - finally!
And a gym day, for sure.. i am heading there this afternoon.. i have a Body Combat class at 530 and a Zumba class at 630, yaaay!!
Also need to do my running for my running program.. i do this 3 times a week.

Today, i am thinking about taking some progress pictures, it's something i haven't been doing and had it in my head that i would wait until i got to whatever my desired weight would be... However, kind of changing my mind on that..

Last night *this will sound SO silly, LOL* but i was getting changed and i caught sight of my backside in the mirror, and i actually stopped and admired it before pulling on my pants... i actually haven't LOOKED at my backside since 315 lbs, and at 223 (last weigh in) i am amazed at the difference.. And after i got dressed, i had to go back and admire it again - though i feel completely silly saying so, it's more about the fact i was admiring my bare hiney and LIKING what i see.. Such a huge difference, and finally feeling proud of myself for what i have accomplished so far, that felt amazing.. i was teary-eyed and completely thankful no one caught me.. It *must* have been a sight!! heheh...

i still really struggle with looking in the mirror and seeing the 315 lb girl looking back at me, very hard to shake that mentality off (if i ever will) so love that i am finding ways to celebrate my accomplishments! Especially where i still have a ways to go, but it will motivate me to keep going & no worries, NO backside pictures LOL!

Hope you are all too! Go check out your bare backsides!
hehehe...

love to you all - have a healthy day!
And for those of you who have plateau'd, so proud of you for looking at it positively.. and recognizing the changes in your body, because i know it can be so easy to get discouraged, but it's important to see the changes are still happening and eventually you will move off that plateau.. You are either building muscle, or your body needs a little more of a change, whatever the case it *will* happen! i moved off my plateau and i'm sure i'll hit more.. Just keep going!!
