The end is near

This morning’s workout was awesome, and by awesome, I mean I am pretty sure I am going to be really sore….  It still is a good feeling though. I feel like I say the same thing every time, but I love seeing how far everyone has come and what we are doing now as opposed to what we did the first day.

That all being said, there have been some parts of the program were I have felt super discouraged, the last couple of weeks were really weird for me and I lost focus quite a bit. As we come to the end, I realize how far I still have to go to really reach what was my weight loss goal. It is so hard not to beat myself up for all the little tiny things I can look back on and realized I might have improved on. Like we heard from the beginning… we aren’t cheating anyone but ourselves.

I know one of my goals and reasons for doing this in the first place was to instill healthy lifestyle choices that will have a lasting effect. I feel that I have gained so much knowledge and practical applications of these things. The real test will be in a few weeks when we are not held as accountable for our choices. As much as I could let, all of what I see as, my shortcomings get me down, I know that is not the case. I have changed and I can see the difference. We are not really coming to the end here in a few weeks, just the beginning of another chapter.  I have to remember that. We have been poured into by some amazing people who have given us all we need to continue to change our lives for the better. It is up to us to just do it.
