Been goin steady and hard at the gym…increasing the intensity…feelin the burn…and luvin it! But…had to force myself to take a break from the gym yesterday…my body told me so. It was hard to stay away…I think I am literally addicted to the gym…it’s like crack…yup, imma a gym "junkie"…lol…naw, I think it’s because I’m so motivated and dedicated to my goals…I almost feel guilty…as if I’m "cheating"…I just gotta keep telling myself that is not the case…that my body needs rest to repair and rebuild and progress. I feel good today…so back to the gym I go! Yeah! Let’s get it! :0)

Wow! I kicked butt in the gym last night! Leg day…my fav! Increased the weight because I felt I was hitting a bit of a plateau…I went heavy and hard and I’m definitely feelin it today…feels oh so good! Changes are happening and others are noticing. It’s easier for others to notice your changes…maybe it’s because I see myself every day and appear (to myself) the same. I will take pics soon…maybe it will be easier for me to see then. All day yesterday, people noticed my changes. I had someone at work tell me I was losing weight. One of the gym attendants who usually just sees me from the shoulders up when he scans my card (yeah…I’m short) came from behind the counter and looked at me in amazement and said I was "gettin skinny"…I’m hardly "skinny", but I knew what he meant and it felt good to hear. Later that evening, another gym attendant came up to me and asked me if I was training for something because he sees me at the gym all the time and noticed dedicated I am and how hard I work while I’m there. Aaaawww…yes…another warm fuzzy. Nothing like others noticing your changes to keep you motivated.
