Get it on

I woke up this morning and I feel lighter. I had a feeling I'd lost a couple of pounds. So I got my tape measure and measure my waist. I lost half an inch! I am so excited! I know it's only half an inch but I am really happy with it. It's progress. I am still very far from my goal of 4 inches but at least I am on my way there. Losing weight is really a tough battle. A little encouragement goes a long way. And this half-inch loss is just the way to make push harder. But I wonder, am I really doing a lifestyle change or am I just trying to lose weight for our upcoming beach trip? Can I continue eating healthy food and exercising after our trip? Will it be hard to continue? Honestly, I know I am trying to lose weight to look good. Being healthy only comes second for now. But this I know for sure, I will continue taking nutritional health supplements and eating fruits and vegetables. I hope that I do find the right motivation to continue this goal after our trip.
