Um... Who are you and what have you done with my habits?

Well, I've done it, I've officially starting thinking differently. I think this time my mind is just SO made up that I'm going to hit 130 pounds... it's crazy!

Yesterday, I had a long day of teaching, and of course I got home and had NO motivation to work out. But, I got in a nap before mom called to go work out, so I was in too much of a sleepy fog to fight it. It was tough, I'm not going to lie, I REALLY struggled to get started. But then I started jogging and I was good to go! I even went on the rowing machine, which I haven't been on since like 3 years ago. I hate that thing... but I'm like checked out 1 minute into it because I'm sweating and feeling the burn! I love it! Mom and I were done before dad, both of us were quite exhausted. Oh well, we got our workout in, right? :)

Today I had to work at the gym. I work in their child area, and I'll tell you what! Saturday mornings in the child area is ROUGH... lots of kids, lots of needs to be met... Yikes! But I did check my bodybugg afterwards just to see how many calories I burned, and I burned 1300 calories just in my 3 1/2 hours up there! :) Then I came downstairs (WARNING: this is totally out of character for me - significant change here!) and... wait for it... I WORKED OUT! I went on the elliptical, turned on my iPod, and 45 minutes later I walked my shaky legs out of the gym.

Now, again, this is totally out of character for me. Usually I would stop and get ice cream (Mr. Freeze is literally right around the corner, it's too easy...) or a burger. I stopped at Subway. Wait, it gets better! I walk in, and my usual mindset is a footlong cold cut and 3 cookies. What did I end up with? A 6 inch turkey on wheat with lettuce, green pepper, cucumber, and oil/vinegar. Who is this new person, and I can I hire her to take over my body for the rest of my life?

Now it's time to relax for a bit... I'm so close to all of my goals for the day (except calories, hello...) that I am going to kick my feet up for a few minutes before I go BACK to the gym to work AGAIN :) There's a kid's birthday party that I signed up for today. Why? I don't know... this is the new me, I guess... I just love the gym so much I can't get out for too long! LOL

Another quote? I think so.
