Everyone is skinnier at 6:00 am.......

This week was a huge success.  I lost 4.5 lbs this week.  If you aren't keeping track, and I am sure you aren't, then let me break it down for you.  That's 29 lbs total, and 29.8% to my total weight loss goal.  I have been very frustrated the last several weeks.  I would lose, gain, and stay the same.  It was frustrating but I stayed the path.  My sister and were talking and she mentioned to me that I was more than 25% to my goal, and this helped me get through the last week and really focus.  I even joined a gym and today I got up at 6:00 am when my alarm sounded.  It was hard, but not as hard as I thought it would be.  I had mentally prepared myself, and was even looking forward to my new routine.  I was out the door my 6:20 and at the gym by 6:25....I was amazed by how many people were at the gym and even more shocking that everyone was skinny at 6:00 am.  Then it finally occurred to me that the people who are determined enough to get out of bed and start their day off this way are typically fit successful people.  and Lets face it......that is who is inside of me trying to get out, so...alas my days will now begin at 6:00 and end probably somewhere around 9:00pm ( since I love my sleep more than any food). 

Today after I had my big success I called my sister, and filled her in.  She is trying to lose her baby weight after baby # 3 and she made a good observation.  She said "I think I bodies don't want to lose weight.  I can do all the same thing for weeks at a time, and then all the sudden I will lose 6 lbs after losing nothing for six weeks.  I truly believe this is true.  That is why it is so important everyday to stay on track and not get derailed.  Those are the moments that define us and make us stronger........and skinnier. 

Let's hope this week is just as great.  Smile...its going to be a great week!
