Do you ever have those moments where you feel like life is just wonderful? These past couple of weeks I have really been feeling that way. I am seriously enjoying life. I cannot believe how happy I have been feeling.
My goal for the year has been to work out and eat healthy so that I can lose some inches/weight, whichever makes me look good. Anyhow, for the past 3 weeks I have been doing rather well at working out. I typically work out 3-4 days a week, depending on how crazy my schedule gets. I have a set schedule where every other day I do weight training and on the other days I use the eliptical cross trainer. In one week I lost 2.5 lbs and was so incredibly shocked with the results. I know that it probably won't be that much every week, but that was improvement and it made me happy. I have also been doing really good at watching what I eat and making sure that I don't eat more Calories then I can burn off in one day. I just hope the results continue.
I am also finding that I am doing much better at keeping a positive attitude. I have decided that I absolutely love exercise and what it does for me. I am really coming to a point where if I don't get to work out I actually miss it. I just love what a good work out can do for your stress levels and for your happiness. One of my coworkers told me today that I look really good and that she can see a difference in my happiness. It really made me feel good to know that she could tell.
My other goal for the year was to do better at personal scripture study. Over the years I have really had a hard time sticking to my reading my scriptures every day. For three weeks now I have been reading my scriptures every single day, I haven't missed one yet. This has also helped me tremendously with my attitude and it really does just make my days go better. Even if I only get to read one verse it still helps me out. I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon and for the knowledge and testimony I gain every single time I pick it up.
