Motivated

I'm not sure what, but over the last week something has clicked. I'm feeling super motivated to workout and eat healthier. My eating habits definitely haven't changed over night, but I do feel like I'm becoming more aware of the crap I'm eating and trying to make somewhat better choices. I have been consistent with working out and definitely feel changes in my body already. The sore muscles were the first thing I felt (but they always are). The next thing I started noticing was I'm feeling more energetic and less BLAH. I'm bipolar and went off my meds about 5 months ago, so I'm being very aware of my moods, but I think the regular exercise is helping me stay leveled out in a way that I like. The other thing I started noticing was my stomach seemed smaller. I think by engaging my core muscles while I worked out they started engaging on their own without me thinking about it. I absolutely love that because I feel like it made "instant" progress even though it is an illusion. The weekends tend to be the hardest times for me to workout and I found myself enjoying it both days this weekend. I'm starting to get back the addicted feeling I had when I was working out regularly last May and June (before my apartment burned down and turned my life completely upside down). I'm hoping that now that I'm settling in after my cross country move, I can turn these changes into life long habits. I'll be interested to see my progress over the next year as I try to juggle school, work, and all the other craziness that life throws at me. All I know is right now I'm motivated and I want to keep it up. Please add me on any of the apps I use and together we can help keep each other motivated.
