So, I made so much progress leading up to my birthday & finally noticed it when I saw pictures taken at my birthday party. My progress has been slow & steady so it's hard for my to notice the changes but seeing pictures of myself really opened my eyes to all the changes my body has undergone! I was rocking that tiny red dress, if I may say so myself. So how did I mentally handle such a feeling of accomplishment...I went off the deep end into calorie-ville - and lazyville! D'oh! Oh well, that was a bad two weeks but I am so ready to start anew. I went grocery shopping tonight and completely set myself up for success :-)
I really enjoyed the last two weeks. It's hard to experience such a change from what has now become a lifestyle of exercise and good food choices but I had fun relaxing, spending time with out of town guests & indulging in foods I never have anymore. I ate a french fry! I ate chocolate! I ate ice-cream! I drank alcohol! It was fun while it lasted but I miss feeling energized & accomplished so I am going back at my healthy lifestyle full force. My next cheat/indulgence day will be EASTER!! Bring it!

The next 40 days - between now and Easter - will be intense, but I expect it will be worth it to see more strength gains & more fat loss!
