I just had one of those moments: I was filling up my water bottle, stooping a little to reach the spout and feeling really, really good. “My abs! They’re doing their job!”

And my next thought was: Huh, and if I want to keep feeling this good, all I have to do is keep making the right decisions. Simple.

Not really, of course. Three weeks ago, the right decisions felt like monumental tasks. I had to work hard to get to this place, where they feel like an effortless Turn Right instead of Turn Left.

But I’m at this place right now, and I’m totally going to celebrate it, and celebrate myself for having done the work to get here.

Tomorrow, I’m waking up to get to my 5:45 spin class, and I’m truly looking forward to it.

No joke.
