Now that I am well into my weight loss journey (there's no turning back now!) I'm starting to lose some steam. I'm finally getting that this is a marathon and i've only just past the starting line. It's a little sad because I know that those large weight loss numbers i've been seeing on the scale every week are naturally going to get smaller and smaller and it's only going to be harder and harder to stay on track. I have reached the long-haul phase. At this point it is essential for me to remember that this is a lifestyle change for me and stop checking my watch asking myself, "are we done yet".
Now for the funny part. I go to the gym often and every time I am at the gym I listen to George Michaels 'Faith' - I know it's corny and incredibly funny, but this song just oozes sex and makes me want to feel sexy again. It keeps me motivated. If you ever feel down about youself, look in a full-sized mirror naked and listen to this song as you take a long hard look at yourself - it will put you back on your high horse (well - it works for me anyways). This song is a definite mood booster - try it - I dare you.

yes, faith is what I need to. I should keep a little bag of it in my purse! To often I ask myself the same question "When the hell do I get off this diet train." When really I should be saying something along the lines of "I love eating healthy and treating my body right." I always love how positive your blog always is. Thank you for your nice comments :)
