Getting There!!

Goodmorning to all! Hope everyone is having a good day so far. As for me my morning is shaping up to be good. I told myself in the car this morning on my way to work that I would not let anyone get next to me today! I gave all my worries to God this morning. He is going to have to deal with them because today is not the day. I get tired of worrying and stressing myself out about things that I cannot control. I contribute my lack of motivation this last couple of months to worrying about things. Not today...anyway...I am so excited about school and jumping back on the weightloss train. I am very happy and pleased with myself.

I had been noticing the pass month when I get home how swollen my feet and ankles are. I am constantly up and walking around at work which wears on your feet and ankles of course. Well I knew I hadn't been drinking my water and eating correctly so I was in no doubt that my lack of water contributed in some way to my swollen feet and the end of the day. Yesterday I told myself, "self you are drinkin all your water today" I complied after I left my full time job yesterday I went to my part time job at Target I am please to say when I got home my feet were not swollen. Now I know that I am retaining water and thats why my feet were swollen. I am still going to make a doctors appointment and get things checked out.

I am getting back motivated and getting myself back in order you guys and it feels great. I ate my breakfest and took my vitamin yesterday followed by good lunch and not so good dinner (I had a pretzel from work) but with all that walking around at Target I am sure I burned it almost off before leaving work. So I getting there I am still a work in progress

I have a trip to Destin beach planned in September coming up so I am eager to see how much I can loose before then. Thanks you guys for all your support I am so glad to know I have somebody to turn too when my motivation decides to vacate. Have a good hump day!

Thanks

Hi Heidi,

Thanks for your note and words of encouragment. You should invest in a pedometre. If you are walking alot with your job it would be fun to see how many steps you do on a daily basis. I have a love affair with mine now . I try to get in between 8000 and 10000 steps a day and I joined a site called 10,000 steps that you record each day your numbers. I have entered a couple of their challenges and it is fun to see your progress that way.

I hope you have a great week hugs to you

One Step at a Time

Hey Heidi,

Thanks for stopping by and showing me some love. Just take it one day and one step at a time.

I agree with what Kimber posted- a pedometer is a great investment if you don't already own one. When I work out, it lets me know when I've hit the 500 calories burned mark as well as how many miles and steps I've gone. It cost me about $20 but I'm sure you can get a deal on one.

Keep up the good work! :-)

Kim
