Well, I am officially one week into my new lifestyle. I am feeling pretty optimistic towards my future. The junk food cravings aren't as strong and making wiser choices is coming easier. I am so thankful that I found some yummy snack choices.
Now that I have a week behind me I have a pretty good idea of what I want my days to look like. I have decided to work out five days a week, taking the day off on Monday and Saturday. Walking is my choice of exercise right now. I find new ways to challenge myself, whether it be pushing for that extra lap or walking a different path all together. Each day I push and go a little bit further. It is getting a bit easier too. I don't tire out quite as quickly, my times are getting a little better. And, most important, my feet don't hurt as bad as they did when I first started.
The biggest lesson I have taken away so far is that motivation makes all the difference. When I decided to go on this journey I knew that it had to be for more than the sake of appearance. I keep telling myself that by losing this weight I will feel healthier in general and that is was has kept me going.
Week two is off to a promising start. Can't wait to see how far I go this week!
