Shrinking

Last week was just a horrible week for me. I still worked out but I didn't go to my fitness classes except Zumba. I ate so much junk and I could tell it was just weighing me down. Plus my monthly cycle started and that adds hormones and emotions ick! But this week is a new week. I did my workout yesterday : 3-2-1, yoga and then a dance fit class (ballet mixed with pilates) I really feel sore today. Mostly in my shoulders and arms. I did a lot of arm work. But that's not what this post is all about.
I wanted to state that I actually feel strong, and skinny. I feel fit. I can see definition in my abs when I tighten them up. My thighs are shrinking and toning up! My husband told me the other night "wow, babe your thighs have almost no cellulite" lol well thank you my dear husband, i'm glad all the squats and lunges and jump roping has not gone to waste! But you know what really makes me feel good? Putting on clothes that was too small and finding out that they are now just perfect. I have several pairs of jeans that I bought over the summer because I lost some weight and needed new Jeans, and now they are just way too big on me. I still weigh 133 lbs, but i'm okay with that. I am slowly going down in my weight and it isn't fluctuating as much. I know it all takes time. The thing is, i'm not dieting. I'm not just working out until I get to a certain pant size. I want this to be something I always do. I want it to be a life style. I want to be a runner, a athlete. I want to be strong and fit.  Balanced. I am on my way and that is exciting!
