I Resolve To.....

I started my New Year's Resolution pretty early this time around.  My girlfriend Donna and I started walking 1 hour a day at least 4x a week in September 2008.  We only missed two weeks total since then.

My resolution has been to take care of myself with exercise.  I take the time at least 4x a week to take care of me.  We either walk or do a Pilates DVD for an hour a pop!!

I am much stronger and I feel better.  I have lost 25 lbs since then but I still have a way to go.  The important part of this resolution is to take care of me!!

I'm on my way.....

Wow Danielle, I love to hear that . . . Walking is such wonderful exercise and great for mood and stress. I'm with you on the resolution to take care of 'me' . . . keep us posted how you're doing . . . ;

Stick with it!

No cheating, either! LOL! The only way you get those results is by keeping at it. I've been walking for over 300 days in a row; the first 150 on crutches and the rest since I've received my new leg. There have been days I haven't felt well, but I still go out for at least half an hour walking. There have been days where the weather has been really back...in the middle of a blizzard I've gone out for my walk. I'm putting my mind and body back into a better place than it was...and it's working. Determination is what makes it happen for you. Now, go get 'em!

Congratulations Danielle. It's great to hear that kind of success.

You are doing a great job. Twenty five pounds is nothing to sneeze at! Good for you and keep it up, you are worth it!! I am disappointed in me, mine was to quit smoking. I am up and down and all over the place. But I am hanging in there..I am getting ready for a move and it has been a job just "Just getting ready". You have inspired me..

You know I did a review for those Orea MiniCakesters. 100 calories per pack. I was using them to pop in my mouth versus a cigarette. They are good, and you don't have to beat yourself up for eating one! They also give you that good feeling you get from tasting chocolate. But it sounds to me like you have great willpower. Be proud!!! And keep walking. As soon as it is warm, I am right behind you..Ellen B
