It occurred to me yesterday (yet again) that I am an impatient woman who wants her dreams realized now. Right this very moment. You see, I'm in the midst of remodeling my home but even among all the unfinished walls and floors, I can still visualize how it will look when it's done. And just yesterday after an exercise class, I caught a glimpse of myself in the full-length mirror and I could actually see what my body may look like after losing 20 pounds. I laughed when I realized that both my house and body are undergoing serious remodels!

I know that it's common to remain in some sort of state of frustration with a home remodel. All of my neighbors (seasoned home improvement pros that they are) have prepped me for this. But I'm not prepared to remain in this constant state of emotional dissatisfaction about my body until I reach my target weight. When people ask me how my diet and exercise plans are going, I don't want to be apologetic, saying things like, "Thanks, but I still have a ways to go!" Wouldn't it be great if I could just say, "Thanks! Things are going great and I love this healthy body I'm in!" (I can just imagine the crazy stares I'd get with that response.)
