What a week!

Well I have had an exhausting week!  I went back to work on Monday!  OH BOY!  I have so much catching up to do (Paperwork)!  I must tell you how nice it is though; I went back to work and the folks (developmentally/intellectally challenged) were so happy to see me!  They showered me with hugs and kisses!  It made me feel so good to know I make that much of an impact on their lives!  I am so happy to get back into routine and I missed work so much!  It is just great to be back!
 So let's get to business!  This pic over here on the left is me last week! I took this pic and was amazed at what I saw!  I was looking at this pic and feeling proud of all the things I went through to get to this point!  Going through everything I did... it was a HUGE eye opener!  It really makes you cherish life for what it is worth! 

I went to the Lung Dr. this week!  I have a major NON SCALE VICTORY (NSV)... I am no longer on my inhalers for Asthma!  This is HUGE!  HUGE!!!  My numbers are excellent!  My Dr. could tell I was exercising cause my pulse and blood pressure were much lower than they ever had been!  I am so much HEALTHIER!  That is all I wanted out of all this!  To be Healthy!  Guess what.... I AM!

I must tell you how much I have missed "FOOD"!  I am stickin to my healthy lifestyle though and making good choices!  I am actually eating a meal!  Not a few bites; A MEAL!  I am still trying to stear clear of the Carbs!!!  Those are my worst enemy!  Cause I love them oh so much! 

I have been walking!  EVERY DAY I walk!  I am now up to 3 miles a day!  It takes me about 45 minutes to walk!  But boy it feels GREAT!  I love the rush it gives me; the way I feel after!  It really makes me proud to know I can walk 3 miles!  Then I come home and do a bit of resistance bands for some toning!  I am getting into a great workout routine! 

This week was my first week really doing this on my own again!  Back to Weight Watchers!  So I really thought I would have gained because of the amount of food I had been eating!  I lost .6 this week!  I keep thinking to myself it is better than NOTHING!!!  But I guess because I was so used to the big weight losses every week, I was a bit bummed!  I feel good though! I am proud of myself!  A total of 89.4!!  Wooo Hooo

Well I hope everyone is doing well!  I have been so busy I am really falling behind on blogging!  I haven't read blogs in about a week!  Shame on me! 

Well till next time!  Take care and stay healthy!
