So today I went to the gym for the first time in a long time. I always kinda dread going, I wake up, roll outta bed and have to psych myself up to go. It was sort of like this today but also, I was ready to go.
I did my workout routine that my trainer had set out for me when I first started, and did every single exercise on that sheet - yes, I am sore already but I don't wanna half ass it.
The whole time I was at the gym, I kept thinking about my family and friends who are showing me so much support about losing weight, and if I do a half assed job, I will disappoint everyone who believes in me. And not only that - I would disappoint myself. Here I have been talking about how badly I want to do this, how badly I want to be happy when I see my body in the mirror and if I don't put 110% into my workouts, then I am ultimately failing myself.
After that, we went to the shops just to check out a maxi dress I have had my eyes on. I wanted something to wear to gatherings in the future that I will feel a bit more comfortable in. Just my luck - they only had size 8's. I picked it up and said I'd give it a go (I own a size 8 maxi already, gotta love stretchy material). I tried it on and it fit - I was shocked. But once I lose some weight, it will be so flattering on my body. So it's a little goal for me to look good in it. The lady at the counter was shocked that I asked if they had bigger sizes. It was nice to hear a stranger think I was smaller (a lot smaller haha) than I actually am.
So anyways, that was my day today.
Cupcakes and sprinkles (only for looking at)
