NSV

I just wanted to let everyone know something I am very happy about. I have always been a little heavy and have NEVER ran in my life. I always said I couldn't because I was too big and because I have bad knees...well, I started MFP on June 21st and started walking for 30 minutes each night on June 23rd. I decided I was going to start running so I made a little plan of action. I would walk for 30 minutes for 2 weeks and then walk/run mix up for 30 minutes for 2 weeks (less running more walking) and go from there on increasing my running until I am running for 30 minutes at a time. Well last night was my first night and I DID IT and then did it again tonight. I am so happy and proud of myself for not making excuses any longer and trying to become healthy and fit so I can live a good long life with my husband and daughter. Thanks for the encouragement and listening.
