Cravings

I woke up this morning craving exercise. I knew that if I didn't go to the gym today and do my cardio and abs, I'd be out of sorts and kinda miserable the whole day.

My, how things have changed.

Corey told me this would happen, but I didn't believe him one bit. He said that after I passed the three month mark, working out would be better...it would become habit. It might even become something I look forward to. And it has. It has been more than three months, I think, but even a few weeks ago I noticed that I was more or less looking forward to my training appointments and not dreading them. In San Diego I enjoyed all the walking and even did a little weight training in the hotel room, doing push ups and abs and tricep extensions with my camera bag/ purse as the weight. I was getting lots of exercise, but my body missed the weight training.

I think I've turned a corner. I feel better after a workout...not worse, and I'm seeing some definite results, which I don't want to lose. I wear shorts and form-fitting tee shirts, and today I went to the car registration office in my skin-tight workout clothes and felt okay about it. I feel healthier, look healthier, act healthier. I have more energy now than I did before. Corey may not be able to keep up with ME in the Grand Canyon, LOL! :D

And now I can indulge one of those other occasional cravings for french fries or chocolate cake without feeling guilty about it. I'm controlling my weight instead of it controlling me. And that's something I've been craving for a while now.
