Re: Making Changes

[Guest guest]

When I read about Steve online, i found his website and read his

entire journal. I then started walking or working out every day for

13 days straight and then got sick. Felt much better during those 13

days then I had in months and lost 5 lbs right off.

I'm still not back on track. Hopefully this last throat infection

will be over any day and I can get my excercise again.

The beach is calling me, maybe sunday! It's supposed to be 82 at the

beach on Monday. For those of you not from the Pacific Northwest,

it's rarely over 70 at the beach here, so that is something to be

excited about!

So far this year i've lost 15 pounds, mostly because i couldnt eat

because i was sick, but I dont want to gain it back!

Steve's walk helped me get motivated, along with an Oprah episode I

watched, the 2 together helped me get restarted on my activity.
