Jump Back In - Progress Report #1

It's been a week since I decided to
JUMP BACK INTO LIFE.
I'm refocused and dedicated to enjoying the beautiful
life I have been given.

I'm going to give myself these periodic progress reports...
in the hopes
that I will stay on track
and that if I don't...
there will be those who will give me the confidence I need to keep going.

Fitness Report:
I have officially exercised 6 out of the 7 days.
I have burned 2,187 calories.
My exercises of choice are ZUMBA, Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred, Volleyball and Yoga.
(Zumba is my new addiction...love, love, love it!)

Diet Report:
I began with joining a free online program called
MyFitnessPal.
I also have it as an app on my phone and it is easy to log-in as soon as I eat and log my calories.
I said how many pounds a week I wanted to lose and for how many weeks and it calculated the amount of calories I can eat daily.
So far I have stuck to my calories.
I like it because I don't have to deprive myself of the foods I like. 
I've always been good at moderation...
but don't ask me to give up chocolate because it just won't happen.

Emotional Report:
I'm Happy.
I have JOY!
I'm managing my feelings.
I have the energy again to DO the things I used to do that gave me so much joy and happiness.

Spiritual Report:
I've always been a little TOO independent for my own good.
I don't always think that I need to ask
GOD
for the things I need...
because I've never felt worthy enough to ask.
I'm working on this one!

Tomorrow I weigh in.
I'm excited to see progress...
but I'm more excited that I'm at least giving it ALL a try!

Jump Back In

I've decided to

JUMP

back in to life.

Too many things were stopping me from enjoying life...

and I'm ready to take back control.

I love to have FUN.

I love to be a great MOM.

I love to be a great DAUGHTER.

I love to be a great SISTER.

I love to be a great WIFE.

I love being a MORMON.

I love LIFE.

So here I go.

Can't wait to see what I can do with all the possibilities.

Off to laa..laa..land!!!

Wish that meant I was heading to do this!

But unfortunately...

I'm heading off to the hospital for surgery!

My goal of posting 3 a week...has been put on the back burner,

as my week has been filled with WORK,

WORK...and did I mention WORK!

Trying to figure out how to balance it all...

I'm hoping that when I come back free and clear of 

PAIN...

I'll be as good as new!

Until then...I'll be in lala land dreaming of more FUN

days on the LAKE!
