Nora’s Weight Loss: Days 6-7 –I FEEEEL Good

Day 6:
No more jelly legs! And that is even after Day 5‘s gym session.  A James Brown song is running through my head “I FEEEEEL GOOD!”

Tomorrow is weigh day!  I sure hope I have lost some pounds/inches.  I don’t think I look thinner.  I am starting to feel better.  I feel better not only physically, but mentally.  I really feel good about myself.  I haven’t cheated and I haven’t starved.  I have pushed myself to exercise and I have made improvements from that first day.  So, for a first week…I don’t think I can expect much more.

Yay!!! It’s a start.  And to celebrate, I went to the gym and pushed myself yet again.  I did one warm up set…but instead of walking the 400 m, I jogged half of it.  Big kudos for me!

You know, I don’t run.  I don’t jog.  I don’t like anything that remotely looks or feels like jogging (that includes walking).  In school, I would come up some sort of excuse to sit out in P. E. when it came to running or walking. And here I am, jogging. So this is BIG stuff for me.  I could just feel the inches melting away…well, it was HOT in Charleston.

To top off my great day, I had my favorite for dinner…the Salmon with a vegetable medley.
