I had a pretty good week. The rain finally held off enough this week so that I could walk. Friday morning I couldn’t sleep so I found myself up at 530am walking and it felt like I was the only one awake. Weird how different things are that early in the morning.
I took a two mile walk with my friends on Sunday. We used to walk that all the time about three years ago. I was so happy and surprised when I was the one way up in front of everyone else and I didn’t even get out of breath or get worn out like I had when we used to walk that walk years ago.
Even though I haven’t lost any more weight since I’ve been out of the hospital I am definitely mentally on a different level than I was when I began this program. For the first time I can remember, I was out to eat with my parents and instead of eating what I knew tasted good but was bad for me, I got a salad. They looked at me strange and surprised, but then praised my choice. Its a small step but on the inside I was so proud of myself.
