Turns out I like the scale :)

So, my heels are still swollen but yesterday Margie and I woke up extra early and did a fantastic but intense swim workout. It felt really good to actually workout. I truly missed it. Today we also woke up early and hiked to the rec. I decided to do the stair master while Margie ran her 3 miles. I got bored of the stair master after 20 min and headed to the treadmill to attempt to run. I lasted about 10 sec then realized I was only going to do more harm to my poor heels. So, I set an incline and walked for another twenty minutes. I am glad that I got to workout today but I was also very envious of Margie. I was just walking on a treadmill while she was workin her butt off. I could see the determination in her eyes and I am so proud of her workout today. On the way home from the rec, I already started to feel my heels get sore. So for the rest of the week, I'm going to swim and do toning workouts. Hopefully, I'll be running next week. I do have some good news! Some great news actually, not to boast. I stepped on the scale this morning, after our workout, and saw that I have lost 8lbs since Jan. 1st!!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes. I called my parents right away! I am mostly shocked because I did not workout for the past two weeks. I have been watching my calories and have been pretty strict on portion control and I guess it is working for me. So, please let this be a major encouragement to you! If you put your heart into it and give it your best, you will start to see results. Looking at the scale this morning has really motivated me! I'm so excited to see where this week takes me. I am taking it day by day though. I don't want to get ahead of myself. Off to bed, tomorrow is another early morning of an intense swim workout and arm toning workout.
