well the last couple days I have felt great the sun has been out (rare for Oregon) and I have been walking lots. Yesterday I did 6 miles. Today I am so sore I can barely walk at all!

    That's okay! We all need days to recover once in a while. Losing weight comes down to calories in<calories out, so just make sure you remain in your deficit.

    Staying in calorie goals for sure. Just would like to be able to keep moving! Hopefully tomorrow I feel better.

    Soreness is normal, especially when we do things that are much more than we're used to. That was me last week. Even the "I can barely walk!" feeling? Normal.

    And it will be worse after you have been sitting (even for fairly short periods) and better when you are warm and have been moving a bit. Go for another walk. Don't let it stop you. Partway through the walk, you'll already be feeling better (though it's temporary, you'll be stiff again when you stop moving). It won't always feel like this! Your body will adapt.

    (PAIN though is different. Anything sharp or acute is not to be ignored.)

    YOU CAN DO IT! I wrote this earlier this week, and it seems to fit here.
