Just what I needed

Yesterday, I joined Jennifer and Rhonda on a walk around Lake Eola...it was great! As some of you know, I don't exercise, I didn't before or after surgery. I became more active and have a very full life, my plate if overfull most of the time. I had no motivation to exercise even after surgery since the weight just fell off. But like I told Rhonda and Jennifer yesterday, I need to change my ways because what if I start to gain back, it may be too late to try to get motivated then. So that walk yesterday, has changed me! We talked and walked 3 times around in 45 minutes which I believe was 2.7 miles. I don't go to support group meetings for my own reasons, but this was a great alternative, and I look forward to doing it whenever Jennifer plans it. Ok back to how it changed me...Today, I woke up and did it again...I went out and did 3.2 miles in 40 miles on the Seminole trail. I even jogged on and off during it and jogged the last .7 miles . I have talked about jogging for months and possibly running in races...I think I have started my first steps in doing this. Now I need to just get motivated to use my gym membership I have been paying for and not using. Tracey

Tracey, I enjoyed the walk too! It's great that you're even doing more. This month I'm out of town most of the time but starting June 17th I'll do the Lake Eola walk if anyone wants to join me at 9am! Rhonda
