walking update

well, just wanted to let you all know how "Exercise" is affecting me and my weight.  I continue to do well walking.  this week I upped my walking some more, from 2 miles to 3 miles, and from 4x a week to 5 x.  I've gone the food path to try and loose weight and it wasn't working after 2 years, I've admitted to myself, OK. i'll try the exercise route now, I did it, I was active but obviously not pushing myself enough. I did 20 mins of walking 3 x a week.  so, my scale, still NO Change, my eating has not changed but like I said i'm pussing my exercise more then I"ve ever done it.  I"m being told It WILL make a difference I'm still waiting,  and that sometimes takes 2 months.  I feel stronger, my legs feel tighter, (I should have measured but too lazy).  so, I continue on my journey and hope that someday soon, the scale will go down instead of up.  BTW, when I upped my exercise the scale went up 6 lbs. 

You may not be losing weight, but look at that muscle tone and how much healthier you will be in the long run.  I think, when you start an exercise program, you will tend to gain due the water your body needs to help repair the muscle damage.  It will level out in time.

I know I felt SOOOO much better when I used to exercise.  I had more energy, was less depressed and slept MUCH better at night.  Those are ALL positives in my book.   I plan on getting back to exercise as soon as they can figure me out!  lol........hope it's sooner than later!

Keep it up Cheryl!  I'm SOOOO proud of you!!!!
Hugs!
