2nd day off

how do you know you enjoy doing something? when you do it on your day off. Following the advice of someone who knows alot about exercise, i decided i would only gym 5 days a week taking 2 days off. I had a day off on wed and today was supposed to be my 2nd day off and binge day when i get to eat anything i want. I had my lovely brownies but i still ended up exercising.
Thing is, not trying to brag as i have only lost 3 lbs more but i'm actually enjoying the variety. On thursday i walked into the gym and ran the furthest i have yet, even pre pregnancy i hadnt run that far. I ran the whole 5 k and loved it. On friday danced to vicky binns dvd doing every section even the toning. Today i started tracy's post pregnancy workout and just couldnt stop as it was so addictive. And when i was done i got out my good old minsitry of sounds pump it up 2011 and enjoyed the tunes. Am i becoming an exercise junkie?!! i bloody well hope so!! It would be an absolute dream come true hehe.
Also the strangest thing is i get more of a thrill when i set myself a fitness target and meet it than i do with weighing myself. Its such a reward knowing i can do things i could only dream about, i mean dont get me wrung i could never climb mount everest or run the marathon but i remember 10 weeks ago today when i attempted doing tracy's post pregnancy workout and turned the tv off half way through in embrassement and fustration. But today i did every single section and i enjoyed the pain!! i've still got the sagging skin in my mid section but give me a month and a half on this dvd and i'm sure it will disappear completely!!!
I know i havent got a great track record of sticking to things eg tracy's 30 day boot camp or the prefect design series but i intend to do this post pregnancy dvd 5 days a week(+ my beloved cardio of course) for 2 months starting tomorrow!!!
Reading this i bet you're thinking omg she must be crazy fit now and skinny, sorry to disappoint but i'm not, I'm still as flabby and large as ever, My goal is still soooo far away but i am fitter and i can just about fit into all my prepregnancy clothes. Nonetheless i really dont want to fall into the 'early reward' trap and the only way i think i can avoid that is to keep setting targets for myself. so let the weightloss journey continue xxxx
