I have been having such a good week. I love my job, even if I am working long hours. I've been able to get to the gym twice (Monday night and tonight), and that excites me!~Today, I challenged myself to go back into the warehouse area at work. The area is a 'clean room' environment, and in the past, I had problems getting the shoe covers on, I couldn't get a lab coat to fit... (I had to just button the top button in the past, and let it hang open around my belly).. it was just plain embarrassing, so, consequently.. I avoided going back there at all costs. So.. anyway.. I tried the lab coat.. buttoned up with room to spare, I had no problem with the shoe covers, and I didn't sweat my ass of as I walked around back there... I was so happy, that I have changed that much, and that I had the gumption to try~ I get so much inspiration from my friends at work. They really show an interest in my progress and it's wonderful to have all the support.
I was talking to Peggy yesterday, and she reminded me that I thrive on the support.. it's really what is maintaining me on this journey. To know that I'm 'Out' of the diet closet, and responsible outside myself, really helps to keep me on track. She reminded me of a few years ago, when I tried to diet, and I told her, 'I don't like telling people I'm dieting, because they keep asking how it's going, and I just don't like that...'... She said 'BOY WHAT A CHANGE' you've made.. I love her for that~ and many other wonderful traits~
SO... another few days until the weekend.. I can't wait~!
Inspiration is a huge part of this journey as is support. I draw a lot of both from you. Just know that when you're inspired, I am as well and your support means everything to me.
ReplyDeleteThe phone tag is just a matter of it being dinner time when you call, I usually turn my phone off when meal time rolls around. We'll talk soon though.
Oh boy do I understand just how much support helps & how lack of support hinders!
ReplyDeleteHaving accountability makes all the difference in the world. It keeps you amp'ed up & it really is comforting when friends, coworkers & family see your progression & keep cheering you on. It's like a mini fan club! That does so much for a persons spirit too!
I for one am super proud of your accomplishments & it's great to know your progress as well! Keep trudging along & before you know it - svelte!!
God, I can't wait for 'svelte!!!' ;)
