I've enjoyed an ongoing fantasy throughout my life where I would wake up and automatically be thin. There are, in fact, many days I wake up and feel different. I get excited! Maybe my dream has come true?? Then, I look. Of course not.
This morning I got up at 4:15 am to get going for my palates reformer class at 5. When I first woke up, I had that same fantasy. And, it was still a fantasy. But, something did seem different. I did feel a little lighter. In fact, during class when we were doing tricep dips, I was actually better at them. I'm certain it's not because my arms are stronger. I think I was slightly lighter than the last time we did them. I always think how much easier it would be to do those exercises (dips, pushups, etc) if I didn't have this magnitude of mass. I look at the smaller girls and think... if I was your size I'd totally be able to do this with ease. I mean, I'm lifting one of you with me!
The sign that the dips were easier gives me hope. We did three sets, with the last set on one leg (while raising the other leg in the air). Granted, my form wasn't beautiful. But, I did get the exercise done.
So, is 2 days in too soon to notice a different? Is this sheer optimism and hope? Have I lost my mind? Or, is it really already working?
If it gives you hope and makes you optimistic then it is never to soon! Way to keep on truckin'!
