just doing it!

I should not be blogging right now, but I just wanted to check in very quickly and let the world know that my first day back on track went very well. I went to the local pool and swam almost 2km, yay! And boy do I ever feel my tummy muscles after Body Pump on Tuesday night... so obviously there are some muscles hiding under all the layers of flab! :) Despite the soreness, I already went for a little run this morning too. Nothing too strenous - it was definitely much much harder than when I last ran at the end of last year! I could literally feel every kilo I put on since then weighin me down... But I did it!

On the food front things have been good too. I even came in under my points yesterday which I thought was ok, because I'll go out with some girlfriends tonight and I guess that'll make up for it... This has always been a hurdle for me in the past, going out with friends and not being able to plan ahead. I don't know where we'll have dinner tonight but I'm sure there'll be a healthy or at least a semi-healthy option wherever we go, so what it boils down to is just me making the right choices! Right now I'm not even too worried about it because I'm all fired up and really pumped to do it right this time. I'm not going to get derailed on my second day already!

I feel like I'm really back now. Or at least I hope so. Because I guess it's you I have to thank for my newfound motivation... How can I not want to join into this "losing weight is fun and we can do it" excitement when it seems to be all around me? It's contagious!
