So I actually made it to the gym last night. Quite miraculous, considering the chaos of my last two weeks involving a big crazy house, three crazy dogs and two crazy cats. So I was feeling pretty good this morning. Enought to try on a pair of pants that would fit if I was ten pounds lighter. But alas, no luck! After my failed attempt, I shook my head. And thus, “One session on the elliptical does not a skinny girl make!” Weight loss doesn’t happen overnight. Nothing does. Well, some things do but all the things that are hard and worth the wait, they take time. Losing weight, running a marathon, getting a new job, a college diploma, having a baby – none of these things happen overnight. And thank goodness they don’t! Because don’t bragging rights feel so well earned when it is something you have struggled towards? 

I think the main person I write this for is myself. Because obviously after my pants debacle this morning, I still lose focus on the big picture especially when it involves making my rearview smaller;)
