Dedicated

I haven't been riding on my own using the excuse that it'll make me too tired to go riding with my husband. We didn't go for a ride last night and now I feel like I've completely fallen off the bandwagon. I just view fitness in terms of extremes and so I feel like if I slip up one day, I'm ruined for life. I have not been eating well which I KNOW is contributing to my overall sense of blah, so I'm rededicating myself.

I'm dedicated to going 16 miles by myself today. I'm dedicated to going on a bike ride with my husband tonight. I'm dedicated to cooking dinner for myself this evening rather than buying something.

It just kind of hit me that I am 4 lbs. away from my original goal. I'm 2 lbs. away from my lowest post wedding weight. I'm just excited about the fact that I am doing this, and that I am going to keep doing this well past 160.

I looked at my reflection today, and I thought I looked small.... Now at 6 feet, I never feel small, but my body looked so feminine, toned, and just beautiful. I felt gorgeous and I know that eating fast food is just going to make all my hard work vanish. I love how I look and I plan to just keep getting better.

I did the 16 miles! Unfortunately, the hubby will be home late tonight, so no epic bike ride together :( I also have a hankering for Panda Express, so I'm thinking we'll have that for dinner.

It's not everything, but it's a step in the right direction :)
