Whew!

So today is Friday :) and it's almost my 21st birthday! So I guess that's why I'm in a spectacular mood! haha I worked out on the treadmill and am eating fresh raspberries watching the sun set over the lake. It seems like heaven to me :). Anyhow, I've been on track lately, had a small piece of cake today at work because they celebrated my birthday, skipped the pizza for a salad and plan to drink just a little tomorrow haha, I can't pass up one drink on my "legal" birthday. But I just thought I'd touch base, I'll have some more free time soon because I work less hours, so I'll update more often hopefully! Hope you all are doing well and most importantly, enjoying summer time!

So Worth It

Hey! So I finally got some time to sit down and update! It's still been insane around here. Unpacking boxes and organizing, while working long 8 hour days for a rotation! But I realized I don't mind actually because it's "so worth it." I heard this phrase today and it just seemed to apply to my life. Sometimes I think it's so much hard work lately with weight loss and working and moving, but it is really worth it. I'm enjoying my rotation a lot and learning so many new things. I'm enjoying my new fit body and becoming more adventurous. It really is worth it!

On a different note, I'm still mentally catching up with my weight loss. I am down to 147 this morning. That's so amazing to me considering there was a point not so long ago when that same scale read 280! I see the difference in my body and I know that I am a size 10 now, not a 24, but mentally I am still far from "healthy." I am still self conscious about fitting into small places or borrowing my friends clothes (which I do fit in :) ) I know I need to focus on this because in order to maintain my weight loss I have to accept my new self. I will make more of an effort in the upcoming weeks to acknoledge my weight loss and accept that I am healthy and I have come so far. It's ok to consider myself healthy and beautiful and worthy. I just need to keep reminding myself! I'm sure with time I'll reach that point where I don't see the "fat" me. Alright, enough of a tangent there haha. I'll check back in later this week! Until then, I'm working, enjoying the lake and family. I hope you all have a great week too! :) Thanks for reading!
