Half way (kind of)

About 7 weeks ago I started a program to get healthy! (If you want to read about the start, go here)  It's changed me so much in this short 7 weeks, both physically and mentally.  I'm down 18 lbs and feel great! This is the lowest I've been since before getting married and 47 lbs lower than my highest non pregnant weight. Sad, but true. I've still got a ways to go, I'm half way to my first goal. It may be my last goal or I may decide to lose a little more. I want to see how I feel :) 

This program is a lifestyle change, not a diet. I have a free health coach (who is amazing and SO helpful!) and we work on a different habit of health each week, from eating 6 small meals a day or exercising to quiet time and journaling. I have a great support network (also a habit of health) and have made the choice to be healthy for my family and myself. 

I've been amazed at how great I feel most of the time! It's when I go "off program" and eat something high in sugar usually that my body really doesn't feel well. It's amazing how when you are used to feeling crappy, crappy feels ok.  Then you start to eat well and feel great and crappy feels horrible! Lol lets hope that made some kind of sense! 

I've tried a lot of things in the past and had lost weight successfully for a while before but nothing has changed me like this program has. I'm grateful for the knowledge I've gained, the support of my family and my health coach! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask and if you'd like to get your own free health coach, let me know and I'll give you her number! She and her husband work as a team and they are great! (And you don't have to live near them, they live in Tennessee and I'm here in AZ!)
