Milestone, baby!

I worked out for 65 minutes on the elliptical machine this morning. I wanted to try and hit 1000 calories just to see if I could do it. I hit about 900 and ran into a wall physically. I didn't think I could honestly make that last 100, but I told myself that I wasn't going to give up this close to my goal and I did it. Once I hit that 1000 calorie mark, I actually almost broke down in tears. I was smiling from ear to ear, and felt overwhelming emotion, and just lost it. Man, what a day! Milestone #1 to see how far I've come. Amazing.
