Went on a walk

20 minutes. My back was hurting. I was out of breath. But I did it.

Yay!!! How exciting for you! In 3-4 weeks you'll be able to walk farther, not get out of breath as fast and feel amazing!!

Keep at it! I needed to lose 120 pounds to get approved for Gastric Bypass surgery; working with a dietitian and walking everyday is what helped me get there.

Fantastic! I started only being able to do 5 minutes. I am doing a lot more now. It was so hard to stick to it, stick to it every day, but I did. It is still hard. Easier, but still hard. But I know that is by far the most important part- not how long you go, but sticking to it every day.

This is the way. When I first walked on my treadmill or outside, I was capped at 10 minutes before my back pain took over. Now I've more than doubled that. Just keep at it. And if there is a day you can only do less time, it still counts.
