It's been just over a month since I joined the gym down the road and started working out on a regular basis. Even though I've lost four pounds so far, I was beginning to feel down on myself because, in spite of my hard work, I'm still pretty doughy and weak.
Then this morning I had a revelation! I'm wearing a very clingy wrap dress, which I love, but is hardly the most comfortable thing to wear when I'm carrying some extra weight. Today I am wearing this dress without control-top pantyhose, and I cannot see the tummy bulge!! Also (and this may just be my imagination) I think my butt is higher.
I know I'm not were I want to be just yet, but I'm actually starting to feel really good about where I am. I'm fantasizing about wearing shorts for the first time in over a decade. I want to buy a new swimsuit and laze around by the pool. I know it's early, but I'm so excited I can hardly wait!
