So, this morning I woke up, got dressed, and came to work as usual. I had been sort of frumpy and tired all week (mental stress), but today I felt like I wanted to get up, take a shower, and be cute. After all it is Friday, and the little birdies woke me up outside my window at about 5:30 a.m.
As I was fixing my hair, I realized that yes, I can't wait to get it cut next week. But, also that when I looked back into the mirror I was seeing a totally new person. It's not often that we stop and really talk to ourselves in the mirror up close and personal. And, NO this is not like pretending to be Snow White, and it doesn't make us crazy. We should take time more often to really look at ourselves in the mirror, not just from a distance. I think as humans we get so used to seeing the same thing in the mirror, that it really takes someone else outside of our bodies to say, "wow, you look different!"
And, today at work, my friend Connie in the Air Force office down the hall said, "your shrinking Michelle! Even on Weight Watchers, I don't remember the results being this good." And, that was really nice to hear. I noticed that when I put my jeans on this morning, I could pull out about 3 to 4 inches of loose material away from my waist, and I had to hike them up like a granny. And, when I showed Connie that it was time to get some new jeans, she was like, "remember, these are the one's that you were practically busting out of a few months ago." And, she's right. These were the same jeans that a week after I bought them, I had to sew the crotch because one morning when I went to get gas, I leaned in the car to put away my debit, and I heard a rip!!
It's crazy how much this plan has changed my life!! I feel like I have switched bodies with someone else, and I am really enjoying this one. I don't want to give it back either. So, yes, sometimes I cheat a little bit, but for the most part, I follow this plan to a tee, and it has paid off. So, for all those people that struggle with this, just take it day by day, work really hard at trying to stay on the plan, and you will see results!! And, remember to exercise those demons!!

This is great. It has been hard at times, but for the most part the results just make it easier. Now that I am done taking road trips I am ready to hop back on the wagon..It is time to get back in the game and get this thing jumpstarted again. I am excited to see the end results and to come back from camp and see the expression on everyones face...I am excited to not be away from you for 2 months, but to be away and see you after 2 months...We are both going to be like WOW!!!
