Sunrise's Journal, 06 Dec 11

So today marks one month since I started on this journey.

Some of the things I have accomplished this month:
- I have lost 15 pounds!
- I have lost at least 8 inches (probably more; just started tracking
two weeks ago)
- I have brought my blood pressure down naturally to within almost
normal limits
- I have had no headaches for 2+ weeks
- I have not had any GERD symptoms for 2+ weeks
- Overall mood is greatly improved
- Can now walk up 4 flights of stairs with ease
- Consistently made very healthy food choices 99.5% of the time
- Engaged in cardio exercise at least 6 days a week
- Started a weight training routine in addtion to the cardio

Yay me :) And that's with only 15 pounds lost - I can't imagine how much better I'll feel next month!

I need this reminder because I've been discouraged by the stubbon scale which hasn't budged for 7 whole days despite all my efforts :( But I shall not give up. The gains noted above are completely worth every bit of sweat and effort!
