I set out to get some walking in today. My best so far had been about a mile. I have talked to a few of you on here about increasing my walking. One of my goals is to walk a 5k by the spring.


Today got to about 38 degrees. I was planning on going to the gym. But when I got outside I said it's not that cold. Got my sweatshirt on and said, I'm just gonna go explore my country style neighborhood.

I walked 2miles!!!! I was so pumped!

I came home and had lunch called a friend and we hit a few malls to shop...

I got home and looked at my FitBit and Holy smokes it said 12,083 steps
5.12 miles

For some of you it may be a cake walk, but for me it made me feel good all over.
When I was 500lbs walking around a grocery store was a challenge.

I'm Doing This!!!!!!!!!! Wooooo Hoooooo

Michael, that's terrific!  I love how you didn't just rest on your laurels, but got out there again to do some more steps at the malls.
