Whew! This has been a crazy week! My son turned two and my daughter’s school has homecoming. I was a bit naughty once and ate at Long John Silvers with my Grandma but I did opt to skip the fries! I had to get a Cortisone shot in my back because there is a partially herniated disc that is causing me quite a bit of pain. The bad news is no more jump rope or high impact aerobics, the good news is yoga and walking are still a go! My celebration for this week is that I got to go off of my blood pressure medication today because the doctor felt I am controlling it well with diet and exercise! Yippee!
This week I also really wanted to shine the spotlight on celebrating someone else; Dusty Stevens is an instructor at La James International in Iowa City, Iowa. She is doing Weight Watchers for her lifestyle change and has lost 55 pounds since January! I am so proud of her and I think you will agree that she looks simply amazing, just having my photo taken with her inspires me to keep at it and someday look that fit and healthy! CONGRATS Dusty! Keep up the great work.
How are all of you out there in cyberspace coming along? Have you made any changes with us yet? If not, now is a great time to try something: add a bottle of water a day, eat an extra serving of fruit or veggies, cut your smoke intake in half, try anything to move toward a healthier you! I would love to hear your Friday celebration so be sure to click Feedback and let me know what you did this week that you are proud of!
