pride

I looked at myself in the mirror this morning when I got out of bed.  I hadn't got dressed yet so I was naked.  I was proud of the way That I looked!  Not gloating but proud of the enormous work I had done to look so slim and trim and muscular. 
All the running I have done is beginning to pay off. I have gained a little weight but it's muscle weight and muscle weighs more then fat.
The pain in my left leg from yesterday was gone. I believe it was just an overextension of a muscle from running downhill on the previous day. At least I haven't noticed it so far and I have been up for a few hours now.
I couldn't help but wonder, if I was a woman, I would be all over a guy like that!  So I'll be patient and wait and keep working out.  The sky's the limit.  I feel really good about myself and it's been a huge boost to my self esteem!
As much as I hate to, I think I am going to have to take the day off.  It is snowing very hard outside and the roads will be slippery and unsafe.  I am 3 days away from reaching my goal. I don't feel bad about it because I can start another 3 week cycle and from the way I look, I don't think it will hurt me any.
I hope everyone can find the motivation to exercise and be happy and healthier like I am.
hugs!
