Onward - - More Progress!

So, I let last week go and my issues with the scale.  I was delighted this morning to see that I have lost 3 more pounds.  That is 16 pounds in 29 days!!!  It is such a great feeling!

I exercised this weekend a lot.  On Saturday, I went to a park with a good amount of shade and walked.  It was tough on my  right knee.  Some of you may remember that I fell in the end of December and sprained my right knee very badly.  Thank the Lord it was not worse and I did not need surgery.  I'll tell you, half way through the first walk my knee was screaming at me!  I slowed down and chugged on.  It felt good to be outside, getting some sun and moving around.  Later that day, I walked Sawgrass Mills Mall.  By the end of the night, my knee was throbbing, but I didn't care.  It still felt so good to get moving and I was proud of what I had done.  Sunday, my knee was still a little sore, but went to another park that has a wonderful walking/fitness trail.  It is a half mile long with stops along the way to work other parts of the body.  I did the whole track and then walked back the whole way!  Again, it felt amazing!  I was supposed to walk yesterday, but it got rained out.  I am loving this new direction my life is taking on this journey!

Another positive, and I'm sure everyone will agree, I have more money not going out to eat all the time.  I feel better, I have more money in the account to pay bills and  am gaining confidence in myself everyday!  If I can tackle this, I can tackle anything!

I also want to take a moment to thank everyone again for all of the support and kind words.  I cannot tell you how much it means and how much it helps keep me on track!

Remember my goal?  50 pounds by my birthday in August.........34 more pounds to go!  Until next time.....
