Past, Present, Furture
Please forgive me, this blog is all over the place…
For how far I’ve come, I am giving myself a pat on the back. I am doing something I rarely do. I am giving myself a little congratulations!!! Yes, I am saying to myself "Self, you are doing a great job!" I have been really good about working out and eating right and it is beginning to pay off. I am really proud of myself. I know I will see more physical changes as long as I stick with it, but I am pausing a moment to recognize how far I’ve come.
This doesn’t mean I’m going to go eat a pizza and put my feet up. I will never eat a pizza and put my feet up! I am just letting myself recognize that I’ve come a long way from the person I used to be. I am neither physically, nor mentally, the chubby little girl I once was. I don’t look like that person, and I don’t think like that person, anymore, either. I don’t think about cake like it’s a reward, I think about it like it’s poison. I think about a protein drink like it’s fuel. And I don’t think about exercise like it’s punishment, if anything exercise has become my reward. I still have a long way to go, but for me there is no turning back now.
I know I will only become more fit and more regimented, as I age. My body fat will be lower, my muscle mass will be greater, and my ability to say no to alcohol and drag my butt to the gym will grow stronger. This is my life for as long as I live.
(Thanks Rat for NLP, self-hypnosis, and all the comm stuff you taught me.)

Congratulations
It is always good to give yourself some credit where credit is due. Too much negativity can really effect your results. Keep strong and keep at it. I will check in on you.
