I have some work at home today, but I think I'm feeling well enough to head to the gym once I get that done.  It's been almost a eek with no gym, so I'm eager to get back into a rhythm.

Coffee with skim and splenda: 50 Cal

DINNER:

I was thinking about the Season 2 Largest Losers from FHA.  So many of them did awesome.  There are so many things that they are doing better now.  The biggest difference?  Attitude.  The nervous laughs are almost gone.  All that is replaced by a huge stack of confidence.  Watching them work-out is so cool.  You see people ATTACKING their workouts.  And I'm not just talking about 1-2 people who got really fit.  I mean EVERYBODY.  They RUN.  They do GREAT pushups.  Their form is better, sure, but that hesitation is gone.  They are starting to trust their bodies.  You can see it when they are done working out.  Their movements are so much more confident.  The way they hold themselves up and walk into the clinic is remarkably different.  There is a great sense of pride to all of it.  Sure we can change people's bodies, but the real change is between the ears.  Now they they KNOW they can change into whatever they want, goals seem within reach and it's super cool.  For me, I definitely have had a better sense of pride.  I have so much further to go, that I want to avoid being over-confident.  But I know I can do it.  I take continue to take off 2 pounds a week until I am where I need to be.  My body can change into the body I want.  I have to keep THAT in my mind all the time, and it's sure to make the difference.
