Week One Update!

Well, I just finished my workout for the day and I fell really good about it! I am a little sore but that is what it is all about, being sore so you can feel better! The physical therapist said as long as it's not a "sharp and stabbing pain" it's a good pain. 


I did my first weigh in this morning, and let me tell you, I was extremely nervous stepping on the scale. I was so sure I had gained weight this week, but I didn't. I actually lost 5 pounds! I was surprised to be honest. My Mom didn't look surprised, but Travis couldn't believe it. I had to laugh at his amazement. He hadn't been very supportive this past weekend. Making remarks that, I am guessing, he thought was helpful and all. But they ended up hurting my feelings more than helping. Although, it did give me a ton of determination to prove him completely wrong.


My Mom is watching my progress real closely. She is making sure I eat healthy, and stay on track with my exercise. She is also making sure I don't go overboard with it either. She is more focused on me making healthier choices and living a healthier lifestyle. The weight loss is an added bonus, even though it is one of my main goals. She told me she was happy that I was doing this and that I would be happier in the long run, not only with how I am eating, but with my lifestyle. 


Never let anyone tell you that Mom's aren't usually right. Those are people who never listened to their moms, and learn later that mom was actually right. My Mom is right, I will feel better about myself once I reach my goal. :) And diet and exercise is the trick! 


Well, I feel like I have a million and one things to do before I have to go to work today.  This means I need to hop off here and start going. :) 


*Simple Moment of the Day*
Friday night, I was out with Travis and some friends and as we were saying our goodbyes we looked up towards the moon. There was an eerie ring around the moon, but it was perfectly even all the way around and was gorgeous. Travis and I stood side by side gazing at it in awe. It was a clear night, so perfect. On the way home, he took my hand and held it. It was a 45 minute drive and he didn't let go except to turn the heat on. It was a perfect midnight drive. 




Until next time,
Remember the Simple Things in Life.
