Day 11

It's day 11, and it's Sunday.  This has been a great and active weekend.  We went to Line and Dine on church on friday evening, and we learned 4 line dances.  I LOVE line dancing but hubby doesn't, so we have only done it a couple of times. The rest of the weekend has been jam packed and I have been really active.  Late this afternoon I was pooped, so I took a nap!

I am finding it hard to change my lifestyle to be more active.  I love the way it makes me feel, but it is hard to have a house full of people to try to motivate into moving.  The more I ponder the way I live, the more I realize that I have made so many mistakes.  I let myself give up on far too much.  Now that I am working toward a better me, it is all that much harder because of my prior weaknesses.  I am determined to make these changes, even though it has taken far too long to make them.

I have some small victories to announce!  I have eliminated 600 mg of ibuprofen a day!  I have only had to take one pain pill, so I think that I am dong OK.  I am going to wait another week, and then I will drop another 600 mg and see how things progress.  I have also only had 1 soda since day 1.  YAY me!  I have started drink a small cup of coffee each day, and it doesn't seem to be causing problems with my jaw.  Bonus!  AND the aloe vera juice is helping with my acid reflux, so I don't need to take medicine for that now.  I am still waiting for the benefits for my joints, but even if that doesn't happen it still has eliminated another med.

Goals for next week:  Aqua aerobics on Monday and Wednesday.  I know I still need to build up from there, but it will be a good start!

Something that I look forward to after I loose weight:  moving faster.  I feel so slow lately!
