First Exercise Challenge Met

[Lissa 2,631]

So, six weeks ago, I had a tough time walking from the parking lot to my apartment. I've been steadily walking the "little D" from my hallway to the close end of my building, then adding in laps to the "big D" from the farther hallway to the end of my building. I've been okay at that, but my goal was to be able to walk to the mailbox without dying. LOL

This morning, I not only walked to the mailbox, I walked all the way around the lake in the middle of our complex! I know it's probably an eighth or a quarter of a mile, so not a big distance, but I'm so proud of myself that I had to post it!!

So far, I've lost 40 pounds and I've dropped one pants size. My butt is getting smaller (according to how my pants are fitting), so I'm working my sleeve.

That post made me smile. Good for you! I remember when that was me. I could not walk either without getting out of breath and feeling like my legs were going to give out on me!

I want you to know that you WILL get to the point where you can and will want to walk forever! I now walk and run 5 miles at a time and never even think about it. This sleeve is such a blessing!!

Hugs,

Kelly

EXCELLENT!!!!! You're really working it! Regardless of the distance, etc. the main factor is you did it. Keep it up and you WILL do far more in much shorter time than you think.

*hugs*

I really love to hear about folks who work hard at working out.

That's awesome! Really makes me want to get my butt moving.
