I did it!!!

For some reason this did not get posted last week... so I'm posting it now. I most certainly did not get up and walk this morning. I've been sick for two days. :(

Ok so I'm all about celebrating the small stuff-and believe you me this is small-but celebration worthy! I got up this morning at 5:30 and went for a mile long walk. What a difference it made in my day! Thank you Sophie and Abbey for being my walking partners.

I've also recently started taking zoloft (or some form of it) for my depression. I started Saturday morning and felt like there were butterflies in my whole body shaking it up. I was told that it may make me a little irritable and jittery... so it was not unexpected. However I didn't like the feeling so I looked at my day to see if I had done anything that would make me feel like that. I realized that I had two cups of coffee plus the zoloft no wonder I was a wreck! So for two days now I haven't had any coffee. I actually haven't had any really bad headaches yet so I'm hoping I can quit it. Its just hard cause I love it so! But I am starting to feel more like myself. I've been depressed so long I really forgot how it felt to be happy. I actually feel much more motivated than I felt last week so I'm hoping this week turns out better than last.

One important thing about weight loss is just to get more active. I'm trying to build in more actions in to my daily routine. I'm also starting to eat much healthier. I subscribed to this cool thing called Suburban Organics  and every week I get a fresh delivery of in season fruit and vegetables. I hope you are all doing well on your journey.
