It was like Christmas morning when I got home from work yesterday. I had several packages waiting for me, mostly the last of my Christmas shopping, but one package was just for me.
I had seen a gorgeous sweater online a few months ago, but I decided not to get it because it cost too much to get something that would soon be too big to wear. I’ve lost weight since then, and then Black Friday specials rolled around, so I decided to order a size medium. That way, I could put it aside and have it to look forward to wearing later, after I lose more weight.
But I tried it on last night, and it fits perfectly! I was so excited, I ran out to the living room to show my husband and stepson. I am wearing it right now and am so happy that I got it.
I am in such a good mood today. The week started out rough, because I was so upset and worried about not being able to run, and I had convinced myself it was inevitable that I will gain weight and fall back into bad habits. Yesterday I firmly decided that whether I keep losing weight, or if I start gaining, is 100% up to me and the decisions that I make. It is totally within my control. It is both scary and empowering to realize it really is completely up to me. And I decided that I want to succeed, not fail.
I have searched workout videos online and saved several weight training workouts I can do with this damn plantar fasciitis, and I am looking forward to seeing old buddies in Spinning class soon. Tonight I will do one of the workouts online that I saved, and I will let you know what I think of it.
