Off and Running

Hello again everyone!  This has been a good day.  I feel like I made a very good start.  I didn't make it up at 6 am, but was up at 6:30, which I was happy with considering the fact I had trouble falling asleep last night and it was after 1:30 am before I fell asleep.  I managed to get in my shower, hair fixed and makeup on.  Also managed to get breakfast and my medications in before leaving the house.  I did not have anything to pack for my lunch so I need to get more organized on that. 

I was allowed 1,692 calories based on my weight today.  I had food totaling 1,391 calories.  I also got my exercise in.  Monday nights I do country line dancing.  I absolutely LOVE the dancing and look forward to it every week.  Is a very good form of exercise too.  

I am very proud of what I accomplished today.  I am looking forward to tomorrow to see if I am able to build on what I have started.  For the first time in a long time, I am excited to see what tomorrow brings.

Have a great night.  Until tomorrow.....

      Gina, Those days were some of the happiest I had growing up. I loved every minute I spent at your house with your family. I loved my parents but always secretly thought of yours as my second mom and dad. I know a lot of my being lonely was my own doing from withdrawing. Part of my journey will be trying to figure out why. I still tend to do that today. I believe to some extent it is a means of self-protection. If you arent close to people, it isnt as easy to be hurt. And you are correct. I would not want to relive those days without keeping what I learned. So the best we can do is take that knowledge and enjoy our lives NOW. I am excited and ready.

    You can do this!!! You are much more brave than I am but I think the blog is an awesome approach to jumping on the path in your journey to success!!! As I told you at the office, I think you looked nice today and I like the style of the make-up you had on today....so subtle yet looked so nice :-)

    I'm trying the exercise goal with you...today was 30 min on elliptical!

    Keep it up!

      Carla, Thank you so much. Your compliment meant a lot to me today as well. I have never been much of a "girly girl" but have wanted to be more that way. It is part of my future goals. So glad you are joining in on the exercise goal. Keep posting and we will encourage each other all the way to our goals.
