Shoulders!!

For all those out there on your own weight loss journey you all know what it's like to step on the scale and see the numbers keep going down...THE MOST EXCITING THING EVER!! Well, the next best thing? Watching your body transform and discover muscles you never saw before. Tonight while waiting to leave for bootcamp I decided to take a few pics and I was pleasantly surprised at what I saw...SHOULDERS!! What!? Holy crap! I was so excited! I could feel them but haven't yet SEEN them! They're coming along nicely if I do say so myself :) It was a very exciting night!
On a different note...the world of "weight loss" has been amazing lately. Very challenging but extremely exciting! A lot of firsts have happened this week. Monday I started to count calories again (so I guess kind of for the second time, but it's been over 6 months since the real first time), Tuesday I wore a tank top to bootcamp for the first time, Wednesday I attempted to jump rope (for the first time in YEARS), and Wednesday night I bought scrub pants in size M for the first time!! It's been a wonderful week! A week of realizations and of firsts! Life is meant to be enjoyed and we're here to learn how to love every minute (even through difficult times). I am extremely blessed. Blessed with an amazingly supportive family and friends. Blessed with the ability to workout until I puke. Blessed with the strength and determination to keep going! Life is good.
