I way didn’t want to row today. I don’t really know why but I was just not feeling it. I did it, though. I pushed through and I am so glad that I did. It drained me, absolutely, but I did it.

So what keeps me going when I don’t feel like rowing? Stubbornness. haha Stubbornness and the fact that on June 5th or 6th, I think it was, I looked at myself in the mirror and had to do a double take! My stomach was flatter and more toned and my shape was more defined. What?! No way. I seriously thought that I was just seeing things. I mean, it had only been like 2 weeks of rowing every day. AND the scale is not changing that much. I mean, I’m not even really dieting…and by “even really dieting” I mean, I am not dieting. haha I still eat bread, I drink wine, and I sometimes have a little Ben and Jerry’s Salted Caramel Core ice cream. So even though I thought that I saw a change I just chalked it up to wishful thinking….until my husband saw me changing getting ready to row one morning and he made a comment about how my stomach looked flatter. So maybe I wasn’t just seeing things if he can see it, too! I wish that I had thought to take pictures when I first started rowing because it would have been really cool to see side by side where I was when I started and where I get to. I generally always think to take pictures but, honestly, I wasn’t planning on this whole rowing thing to be more than just playing around here and there. Needless to say, don’t be like me…ALWAYS TAKE PICTURES! Because on those days where you are just not feeling it, you can pull those out and see how far you have come.
