Journal
October 26, 2000
What an exciting week this has been for me!
I will post my weigh-in on the main page tonight but I thought I should get this journal up now since the days ahead are going to be so busy.
Most of you know that excersize has become and important part of my weight loss efforts these days. I started walking short distances early on and slowly increased as time went by. I didn't expect big things....I just knew it made me feel better and lose better. Well not too long ago I jogged a mile straight and was amazed with that. I have now been jogging over 2 miles straight and not wanting to stop! I love it....I wake up wanting to do it! I suppose I now see the passion my father had for running. Not that I think i'll be doing 10 miles a day as he did any time soon but I certainly get a rush from it and can see why it was so important to him. It inspires me so much to know that I can do this now.......when I think back to the days that my knees used to hurt just from climbing stairs and how I would be short of breath and sweating from just walking a short distance. I am so proud of me .... I know my dad would be too! What a great feeling it is....I can only imagine it gets even better. :-)
After I get done on the treadmill I am so energized that I hit the weights. Although, I have had to remind myself to slow down a bit. The increase in the scale a couple weeks ago told me I was probably doing too much. I am still seeing changes in my body daily and know that the inches are coming off....I just really want the scale to catch up now. It was nice to hear from Neville this week. He reminded me that even tho the scale may climb some, this is all good for my body and my weight loss. It's funny, I do know that, but no matter how much you lose or how much you've learned.... it's still always so good to hear from other people who know what they're talking about. Thanks Neville, sweetie.....I needed to hear that!
I was also contacted by the producer of the Discovery Health Channel this week wanting to do an inspirational segment on my story!! How exciting this is! My husband and I are taking a trip to New York tomorrow to be interviewed! I feel so honored to have the opportunity to do this. Since I am continually encouraged by other people's success....I can certainly understand how the ammount of weight I have lost helps to inspire others. It means alot to me. I really hope that I can have a positive effect on the people that see it. I will be sure to post the information about it when I know more.
Tomorrow also happens to be be my 29th birthday again (hehehe ok, well 31 really but i've begun to count backwards!). Happy Birthday to me!
I had alot of fun adding the halloween page this week. I hope it helps some of you with the choices you make for that day. I know i'll have a house full of candy for some time so I want to be ready for it. I have lots of other surprises coming soon too! :-)
I'll post my weigh-in tonight and will write again soon to let you know how things are going.
Until next time..........
Find something kind to say to yourself each day
to remind yourself why it is you are so very worth this effort!
