I started this lifestyle change 2 months ago and when I started I was only walking at 2 - 2.5 mph for 20 - 30 minutes a day ... I did that for a couple weeks and kept upping the time and speed ... I am now at 40 minutes in the morning at 3 - 3.5 mph and then I walk again in the evening for 40 - 60 minutes. This has been…

Good morning all :flowerforyou: Cyndee - yeah I know what you mean, I really didn't want to cook... the weather was actually alright here yesterday, but I still didn't do anything....our little city decided that most of our Canada Day celebrations are going to take place on the weekend, that way we celebrate both, July 1 &…
