a surprise on the scale

So randomly I stepped on the scale today and since 2 weeks ago before I left for vacation I've lost 8 pounds. What?! I guess walking 20k steps in Disney each day really helped avoid vacation overindulging. I'm not going to obsess over the scale, but I gotta be honest... it was motivating.

It was my first day back at work after vaca... I won't get into that but I was proud of myself. A 10 hour work day, I went to the doctor and took care of an ear issue I've had for the past month, got through all my emails, went to therapy, went to the gym, AND cooked dinner. Like a BAWSS.

Today I used the workout program I created for the first time. It was just arms and man, I feel it. But I had my clipboard with me, checking off things as I did them, and I was rocking out with my wireless headphones. They are evvvverything.  It felt kinda nerdy but I legit didn't care. I felt strong. My very last exercise was the bench press and it really made me feel like a badass. I can't wait to watch my progression with the amount of weight I can lift. That is motivating for me.

Tomorrow I get to rest (yay!) and I'm going to break down my typical diet during the week.... the good, the bad, and the ugly. Stay tuned.
