We all have those days. The day when you wake up and feel like crap, everything goes wrong, and you are just all over the place. And to top it all off... I gained weight this morning. WHAT??? I was so upset. I couldn't even imagine that not eating would not make me lose weight. I mean it was less than a pound, but still! I shouldn't be gaining weight. Why was I gaining weight? After sitting down and thinking about it, I figured it out. I drank a lot of fruit juice yesterday. I didn't even stop to think how many calories I was consuming. I consumed watermelon juice, strawberry juice, and tomato juice yesterday, and I didn't even work out. I was very lazy yesterday... To the point where I was in footie pajamas with a cup of warm tomato juice in my hand. It was a non-workout lazy type of day.
Last night, a friend and I were discussing which gym I should go to if I decided to go to one. I decided to try out LA Fitness with her today, and I ended waking up at 4:45AM. I was so excited for today. As each minute passed, my excitement faded. I lost my lock and key for the gym locker. My three day pass was changed to a one day pass. The jets in the jacuzzi were not working properly. I gained weight. It was not looking like a great morning for me.
Then, out of nowhere, my phone started buzzing out of control. Like. Like. Like. Add. Add. Comment. Post. Like. Add. Add. Comment. My Facebook was blowing up with excitement. After another friend of mine posted my information on his fitness page, over 11,000 people saw my story. They think I'm an inspiration. They want to know answers. They are so invested in me and helping themselves. It was all so overwhelming. I'm not the type of person who influences others, am I? As I began to think about it more, my self image began to heal a little bit. Maybe I can be an inspiration to others. After over 1,500 page views on my blog today, and more Facebook notifications than I could count, I decided to write a book. I got as far as a title page and table of contents. I'm not quite sure where it will go, but for now.. I'm happy about it. I like the idea of sharing my story. I have been through so much and I have a lot that connects with others.
Although my weight went up today slightly, I have never been happier. I feel great, and I am ready to share my story with the world.
