Today was my weigh-in day. I only weigh myself once a week because I don't want to get obsessed with numbers. When I got on the scale, I found that I had already lost two kilograms, so I was totally pumped! This success is really the encouragement I need to keep working hard towards achieving my goal. To reward myself, I decided that if I lost another two kilograms next week, I would buy myself a new miniskirt. Yippee!
今天是量體重的日子。我每個星期只量一次體重，因為我不想太過執著於體重計上的數字。站上體重計後，發現我已經減了兩公斤，因此讓我士氣大振！這個成就實在是我需要的鼓勵，好讓我繼續努力，朝目標的體重邁進。我決定如果下星期再瘦兩公斤的話，我就要買條迷你裙犒賞自己。好耶！
pump當動詞時原表示「給……打氣」，日誌裡所用的 "I was totally pumped." 照字面翻譯就是「我徹底地被打氣。」衍生意思就是「士氣大振」。也可在be pumped後加上up來加強語氣。
