An Epiphany and Ruing a Change

I’m not very pleased with myself. This week I walked a grand total of two days. Two! I want to be walking at least five days a week, so two is not cutting it. The way two days of walking in a week happens is that I get myself too busy during the day. I put the walking off. [...]

Fitness Friday

Well, this week hasn’t been so great on the fitness front. We only walked 3 days. And the four days we didn’t walk were all in a row. Not quite sure how this happened, it just sort of did. But tomorrow starts a new fitness week and we will be better [...]

For starters, I have started out at the weight of 204 pounds. [...]
