Keep moving! It is the best thing you can do. One day of rest, one day of activity. Sounds like a winning combination to me. Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend. :) Tammy
Good for you. Just take one day at a time and promise to be good to yourself and getting in shape is the most important thing you can do.

Oh I hear you! Thanks for the reminder! :)
Keep moving. If you have access to a pool, walk in the pool. When you move in water, you have lots of resistance and this is great for your calorie burning but no stress on your joints. I walk in water with weights all of the time always feel great when I'm done Sea Witch
Thanks for the advice and good wishes..My sister and I did alot of walking in vancouver on Saturday..had fun and burnt calories..oops..had a wonderful chocolate truffle..lol
Good for you Bettyann!! I have really been working at it too. I cant wait til it gets warmer so I can walk!

Hi Bettyann: I can really relate to you. I have to get in gear. You have encouraged me. Thanks, Martha
It is wonderful that you can walk to your library! Getting moving is what will keep us young!
My chiropractor says to get up and stretch and walk after every 45 min. at the minimum!
I love the illustration of the butterflies in the stomach (torso?).
Making plans to meet up with someone really helps, doesn't it? Good luck!
Me too... hibernating and eating that is!! You have inspired me my friend...thank you so much for the frank post and the good example!!
Warmly,
Tracey
