One Month In

I was going to write, "One Month Down", but that isn't right; the latter implies that it's a bad or difficult thing and that there's an end.  "One month In" denotes that we've embarked on a lasting, life-long journey of lifestyle changes - changes for a bright future of fun and health!

I can't believe the change that a month can bring, and it's not just that people are starting to notice the pounds coming off.  I've been exercising at least 30 minutes of aerobic activity almost every day - and NOT hating it!  Sue mentioned the other day that I am really happy.  I hadn't really thought about it, but I am.  Even times when a few days go by and the scales aren't so kind.

One of the highlights of this week (and there were several), was rollerblading for about an hour with Val - and not being totally gasping for breath like days of yore. 

And I'm beginning to dream.  I'm hoping that when I get down to my 'best weight' that I'll be able to go mountain climbing - something that I love, but haven't been able to do for a few years.  We'll see.  And if it turns out I can't, well roller blading is pretty awesome!
