Day 68 - "And It's a Great Day to be Alive..."

Good morning lovelies!
A very splendid Thursday to you all.
Today is going really well so far.
I woke up, and the first thing I did was exercise.
I am definitely going to have to start doing that every day, because I am so energetic right now.
Who knew? :)
Also, I had a good breakfast. (I actually ate some veg, I think the world might end soon, haha!)
It should keep me going until lunch around 3. :)
My sister said we could go driving today...oh, boy.
I am hoping to get in a pool workout after dinner tonight.
We are going out to eat, just like we do every Thursday.
This calls for scrutinizing the menu and making healthy choices!
I miss my boy terribly.
I have to wait til July sometime to see him.
It all depends on his work schedule and when he can get off.
I am super excited, because I have not seen him since early April.
I have lost 10 more lbs. since then (more by the time he actually gets down here!) and my body has definitely changed.
I am starting to see definition in my stomach (!!!) and have been losing fat on my arms and thighs, which is quite lovely, indeed. :)
We were talking last night and he was like, "I am pretty sure that when I get down there, I will not be able to keep my hands off you."
And I said, "Yeah, I definitely agree with you there."
He sputtered incoherently for a minute and then said, "Wait, what?! Where did my girlfriend go? WHAT DID YOU DO WITH HER?! You never agree with me when I compliment you!"
I laughed and said, "Well, babe, a better body inspires self-confidence and raises self-esteem."
He likes the new me.
And so do I. :D
It is only going to get better from here!! :D
Something finally clicked with me just now.
I only get one body.
I need to give it fuel that will sustain it.
Fruit, veg, whole grains.
Not junky, rubbish food.
The gratification of eating chocolate or pie or cake or cookies is not worth the blood sugar rise/plummet and mood swings that usually accompany it.
Not only do I need to feed my body right, I need to exercise it.
There are so many benefits.
You get stronger, more flexible, you build your endurance, and you just feel so much better!
Wow, it is amazing how your motivation level and your whole mindset changes when you figure something like that out. :)
And if you have not figured it out yet, there you go. :D
Eiffel 65's "Blue" is now my go-to song to pump up my energy levels.
It just makes me wanna dance. :)
Haha, I hope you all have a wonderful day today; you deserve it!
Stay positive, stay beautiful, my lovelies. <3
