Week One Down.....

Okay, so week one of my challenge with my mom is down. I think I did pretty good. There were several days that I walked two miles. For me, that is a feat in itself because I haven't walked that far in the 2 years since I broke my leg and ankle. I would be lucky if I could walk 1/2 a mile without being in pain and my leg killing me for the next week.

My mom got me hooked on the last season of The Biggest Loser. I'm glad that I watched this one. There were two sisters, Olivia and Hannah, competing who made it all the way to the end. I kept cheering for Hannah because a lot of what she had to say, I saw in my own self. Several times, she had said that she wanted to lose the weight because she was tired of feeling like she was invisible or like she didn't matter.

Hannah soon became someone that I looked up too. She was funny and she had the same feelings I felt about being invisible or not feeling good enough.

I know that I don't have as much weight to lose as the contestants on the Biggest Loser. But I know that I need to lose the weight that I have so I'm lessening my chances of get diabetes or cancer-two things that run on both sides of my family. After this first week, I've been eating less, trying to eat better, healthier things. I notice that I'm starting to feel a little bit better about myself, slowly. I've lost a few pounds our come out about even. Until next time!
