This post is a piggy back of my epiphany post. I'm now in my 3rd week of waking up at 4am and going to the gym. I've had a lot of people tell me I'm crazy or that they're sorry I'm waking up that early. I've also been told that it's so awesome that I'm doing that and I'm motivating them to try and do it too. All I know is that I am feeling really good. I'm in a way better mood throughout the day, I have energy, I'm getting a lot done and I'm feeling more confident about myself.
I've lost 8 lbs so far. I'm cutting way back on portions and the amount of food I'm taking in but also building a lot of muscle since I'm doing weights as well as cardio every morning. It really has changed me in a lot of ways. I feel so productive, I'm really tired when it comes to 9pm so I'm sleeping better and I feel so much more positive. This isn't going to be a seasonal thing or just a stint. I'm wanting this to be a lifestyle change. The working out is great and the effects its having are wonderful but I also love it because I feel like I'm controlling life and life isn't controlling me. I feel productive and satisfied at night when I go to bed. It's so nice to hear from people how great I'm doing but I wish they could feel the change I feel. I bet if they could, they would start too. I find myself constantly thanking Heavenly Father for the blessings I feel I'm receiving by trying to take care of myself.
