When we started this journey of walking, it was once around the building (about 1/4 of a mile) twice a week. I eventually graduated to three times a week, then five days a week. Then I started out with two times, twice around the building for about 1/2 mile.
My goal by June 1st was to walk 1/2 mile five days a week!! Today WE DID IT!! But I could never have done this without Tiffany, Erika and Ramona and all the munchkins who come with us.
For those still struggling and saying "Yeah Laura, I know I need to do something..."
JUST DO IT!!!
This crazy life and world we live in is a journey!!! Too often we are taught to be fast and quick and just get it done. For me, it is easy to quit and tell myself "what good is 1/4 of a mile"? You build upon that! We build upon everything in our lives. If we can remember that, we can do this!
Many times I have had people approach me (yes complete strangers!) and say, "have you ever looked into Gastic Bypass surgery?" I have had people say, "I have a diet for you to try!" I politely turn them down and remember to try to take one step at a time. I am firm believer, that before I could ever change the outside I had to change the inside. That is also coming very slowly. I think the best thing I could have done to have success with all this is to know people care and I am loved. I really believe it took me getting rid of the anger in me and finding love to be able to do this!!
Don't Ever Give Up!!
Sorry I have not updated as I should!! But I would love to hear how everyone is doing in their exercising, sugar and soda etc. I still stay away from it all for the most part. I will have a treat every now and then, but does not really tempt me as it did. Now maybe I will have to work on this with my salt intake! Ha
Hugs Laura
Laura, I have had a hard time of it. Lots of changes and uncertainty made me drop out for a bit. In the interim I think I have gained and went back to the soda in a big way. I get I could look at it as loss progress but I am choosing to look at it as a learning experience and try and track in my journal where I lost my way.
