Good Morning, Friends! This week has been very productive. My mom and I have really been sticking to our morning walks. We even got up at 6:00 this morning (yes, on a Saturday) to get a walk in before I came in to work. My legs are SO SORE from all the walking uphill we've been doing, but it has been well worth it! I've lost 3 pounds in the last week. I've been focusing a lot more on my food now that we're getting settled into the new place. I cooked some amazing herb and parmesan crusted tilapia the other night. I went over to my parents house and cooked enough for all of us. The next night I made penne with asparagus, tomatoes and peas. I need to get back into the habit of photographing my food. Not having a working laptop has made it a little difficult, but hopefully that will be remedied soon. Next week, my mom and I are going to work on incorporating more weight training into our routine. We gave ourselves a week to get used to walking and waking up early. Now that our bodies have adjusted, we're going to start going to the gym after work 3 or 4 times a week. We both have a deadline given to us by our doctor, so we have a time limit and a goal to reach! I think with this much activity, we will get there quickly!

I'm looking forward to getting off work at noon today and going home to spend the rest of my weekend relaxing. It's been an exhausting couple of weeks and I am looking forward to some time alone to unwind a little.
