Back on track- Positive people

Good Morning,

Wow, do I feel great today. I walked my kids to the bus stop then walked on the treadmill for 30 min while alternating the incline from 3-7. It felt great to be back in the groove. I also did 15 min. of some yoga stretches.

I have a good friend who is also losing weight. She has a personal trainer who is helping her and she is looking good. Her trainer coaches her at home and she uses the treadmill, bowflex and then other items that are just around her home. No expensive gym fees. She uses the stairs alot for running and pushups and she also does alot of core exercises and exercises with filled up milk jugs. Has lost 18 lbs so far and she started in January.

My sister and brother in law are also getting active again. My brother in law has been off sugar for almost two months now and has lost 28 lbs, and my sister has lost 13 lbs. Good for them.

I love hearing positive stories like that it keeps me motivated.

Exercise:
Yoga - 15 min.
Walking- 30 min.
Stretching- 5 min.

Weight - 175 lbs
