Inch by inch

Today's workout was so great.  I would love to be able to bottle endorphins, but I would miss out on working hard to get them.  The feeling you get from them, makes the sweating(although, I love to sweat.  Weird, I know.), the grunting, the soreness the next day, ALL WORTH IT.  I was feeling strong and confident at the gym and when I left.  I was rocking some smaller workout pants that I had put in the "I'm pregnant and NO WAY wearing these for a while" box.  This morning I went in search of them and they fit like a glove.

After, this quick and effective workout, when I got to work I decided I needed to do something needed to be done, but totally killed my euphoric mood. 

I TOOK MY MEASUREMENTS.
[cringing]
Here they are:
Right arm:(making a muscle) 11.25in
Bust:(under boobs) 31in
Waist:(right above hip bones) 34in (gasp)
Butt:(biggest part of butt and hips area) 38.5
Right thigh: (mid-thigh, no flex) 20.5in
(DISCLAIMER: This is where I am right now. I have specific numbers where I know I feel my best and my clothes look good on me and in no way am I saying anyone with different numbers are better or inferior to mine.)


Like I said, it needed to be done, to see how my true progression back to pre-Ava body is going.  I have a ways to go!  Although, I was discouraged at these numbers, I immediately wanted to go workout again.  Not that I did!  That's just craziness.  I do know that every time I am in that gym, I will make the most out of my time and work my hardest.  I am determined to fit into my most favorite pair of jeans by Thanksgiving.  Right now, I can't get them over my butt.  I can and will do this.  Determination and consistency is key!

What motivates you? 
I hope y'all have a great Monday.
