I know I haven't blogged since last friday...my bad! I've been sick for the last few days. I pushed through it monday and walked but yesterday I did not even want to move after work. Today was a lot better after I stayed home and slept the whole day. I walked up to Lake Mountain Road and back down and then around the neighborhood going in and out of the streets! I feel wonderful! Next is to the top of the hill! :) I am a tad determined today! Maybe it's all the sleep I got today! WOOT!
The "food plan" as my cute aunt says is going really well this week, even though I haven't felt good! I need to get one of the water bladder things you use when you go camping for my walks, so I don't get so thirsty! Time to start bargain shopping for one! I'm going to try a new recipe for whole wheat cinnamon rolls or something like that! I'm so excited to be doing this journey!
I would have never thought in a million years that I would be so excited to eat fresh fruit and veggies! I would've thought I was crazy but I know that's not how I think! I am so proud and excited about all the accomplishments I have made in a little less than a month! A year ago I would have never thought to eat ground turkey, a veggie burger, a salad that wasn't drenched in ranch, or even a fried potato. Now I want to eat these things and my family looks at me like where did Tori go. Haha!
I know I couldn't have done this without the help of so many of you! My Aunt Barbara called me today just to tell me that she was proud of me and that she prays for my success everyday. To me that meant the world. She is one of the most inspiring people in my life and I know that whatever question I have she will have an answer or something that can help. :) I never thought that I could walk to the road on the hill without dying, but tonight I DID IT! I am so excited to say that!
I know this is kind of all over the place, sorry! I know the most important thing in this is my Heavenly Father's love and guidance! That has mad this so much easier! I have even realized some of the smallest blessings in my life since I have started this! Anyways, I can't thank you all enough for your support and strength! I love you all dearly! :) Happy Days!
YAY TORI!!! keep it up!!!! you're amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteTori,
ReplyDeleteYou're doing FANTASTICALLY FABULOUS!
Keep it up and share some recipes! I need new inspiration!
What a great attitude. You are right that Heavenly Father is helping. The little blessing everyday are what will get you to your goal. I remember walking the hill and not being able to make it to the top without stopping to catch my breath. Someday you will not only walk the hill but you will jog right up it. It won't be easy but you will be able to do it! YOU can do HARD things and conquering eating and exercise habits is the hardest thing I have ever done!
