Day 8

Day 8, 38 more days to go!
I have been trying to say at least one positive thing about myself every day, because I found myself being really negative last week. I had a shock of reality, and instead of thinking ahead and focusing on what is to come; I was focusing on all of the bad choices I had made that got me to where I am. No more of that! Geese!! I thought I was going to have a breakdown! So from now on, whenever I start to call myself 'fat' and 'ugly' I am going to cancel the thought and replace it with something more on the sunny side of things.
I got on the scale, 237 lbs! I am happy that I lost 3 lbs in a week, but really, it's not about the weight. I want to loose inches, and feel energized and healthy. I want to start being more active with Isaac (my 5 year old). It would be nice to run around with him; instead of sitting on the bench. I want to set a better example for him, and show him that there is a lot more to life than watching TV and playing video games. For the most part; this is about me, but it is also about Isaac.
This morning was Pumptime Express! 45 minutes of cardio pumping goodness! I like these 6am workouts, they get me energized for the whole day! I don't know if I will have much use of my arms later, but in the end, it will be worth it. I thought it was really funny when we were rowing with the bar bell, every time I would bring the bar up, it would crash into my gut....more motivation to hold that belly in! I am also finding out how much stronger my left side is than my right; holy cow! My right pectoral and my biceps are on FIRE!!!
I feel great, and now I have the rest of the day to take on!
Until tomorrow......
