The Miracles Keep Happening

 I thought my last visit to the doctor was something to shout about but the last two weeks only adds to all my happiness. I made some adjustments in my diet and the results have been nothing short of phenomenal. I have lost a total of 12 pounds during the last two weeks. I'm not starving myself or making huge impossible sacrifices that would only result in failure. I have given up my daily morning Coca-Cola and maybe have one on Sunday morning just because I want to have a little taste. I have also done away with refined sugar, processed food, and definitely fast food. I cannot begin to explain how incredible I'm feeling. This afternoon I actually felt like cleaning the living room, vacuuming, picking up and throwing away dog toys that Abby has decimated. I no longer feel winded after doing chores around the house and that feels fantastic. My brother will now jump up and down for joy because his burden just lightened up considerably. I don't expect to lose 12 pounds every two weeks now two pounds a week sounds reasonable and realistic. However, I did not achieve these results by feeling miserable or eating like a rabbit. My trainer emphasizes how diet is 99% of weight loss and the rest is exercise. My workouts get more challenging each time I go in and I'm having the time of my life. I feel that my workouts are a gift made especially for me. Life feels so good. Be blessed and well.
