Put On My Nikes and Go

Even though today is my day off from exercising, I'm
having a hard time resisting the urge to put on my Nikes
and go. I couldn't stop myself from hopping on the scale
again this morning and it was down to 208.5 (it was right
between 208 and 209). When I went back just a few minutes
ago, it was back at 211. You aren't suppose to weigh
yourself everyday and when you do, it's suppose to be
first thing in the morning, at the same time every time.
Those are the most accurate readings. I know all this, and
yet, I insist on hopping on the scale every morning. I
even broke the rules and weighed myself in the late
morning, when I knew the reading would be higher. That
kind of disappointed me after seeing the 208.5 reading a
few hours earlier. I know that it's correct and the 211
isn't, but it still let me down a little. I'm so moronic
sometimes. I know what I'm suppose to do and not suppose
to do, yet I do the very opposite at times. I should just
be amazed and happy that in a matter of 4 days, I've lost
almost 10 pounds (9.5, to be exact). I started the
bootcamp Wednesday and it's now Sunday. I'm proud of my
progress, and I've noticed some changes in my body
already. I don't get hungry anymore, the urge to eat isn't
as strong as it use to be. I told you before, my clothes
are fitting better, and I feel more flexible and stronger.
It's a good feeling. I've been in peak physical condition
before (I use to be a cheerleader in high school), and I
took it for granted, how strong and limber I was, and now
that I'm starting to get a taste of it back, I realize
what I lost and I want it back completely. I'm going to
get it back!! I may never be 125 again, but I can still be
in good shape at 150. Compared to where I'm at now, 150 is
bean-pole status.

I think I'm going to make the most of my day off, give my
muscles a rest. Maybe take a nice, hot bath. But on some
sweats and chill with the new book I'm reading (finished
the old one). But first I think I might take a little walk
=). I know, I'm bad, but who would have ever though I'd
like the way exercise made me feel? I won't work myself as
hard as I usually do, it'll just be a leisurely stroll.
