AHHH

It was hard to get up this morning at 4:45 and it was equally hard to get to the gym, but I did both and survived and I'll go back again.  I didn't make it at the time I wanted to; I'll have to go back to get my cardio in later this morning, but I'm happy to be back at the gym.  I went on Saturday morning and that was nice too.  I haven't lost much weight in that last month, but I feel like I've lost a lot of inches through my waist and belly.  Also, I can see a difference in my face.  I talked to Ashley about it and she said not to stress about the weight because I've gained a lot of muscle so my body is trying to balance it all out.  I know that I have gotten stronger because today while I was on a certain machine doing the exact routine I did a month a go my heart rate never went over 145 and it used to go up to 160.  It was easier to do the exact same workout as I did a month ago too.  My abs are getting stronger and I feel like I have more energy than I did a month ago.  So even though I haven't frequented the gym as much as I wanted I haven't gained any weight and I haven't lost any either, but I have lost inches and I have gotten stronger.
