touching moment

I just re started my diet and fitness program about 4 days ago. I have rheumatoid arthritis and the PT convinced me I needed to lose some weight. This is my body for the rest of my life and unfortunately RA is going to be part of that too. I have got to get some weight off to save my joints!!
So, last night, my 12 yo daughter Hannah and I went for a 30 min walk at a very good pace. When my timer beeped we were almost to our house. Hannah said, "C'mon mom JOG!" I laughed and shook my head. She said, "But I'd be so proud of you.." Well, I jogged the last block to the house. I nearly cried that I made my daughter proud!
I'm crying retelling this in fact. Means so much to have love and support during this time!

Kids pick up on things like this so much better than adults. They can see and know how much it means to you.
