Good morning everyone... I hope your Thursday morning is off to a happy & healthy start!

Like others here, I joined WW 3 weeks ago. I've had multiple friends that had major success with the program and honestly, they motivated to join. As of today, I've lost a total of 8 pounds. I haven't been exercising, just following the points program. I know, it doesn't seem like a lot in my head, but then I pick up a couple of sacks of potatoes and remind myself "this is what you aren't carrying around anymore". It helps me keep it in perspective that yes it might seem like a small amount, but feeling it tells me that I'm going in the right direction.

Last night, D and I went walking at a park by our house that has a 1.25 mile track. It was 7 pm and still 102 degree (gotta love Texas). Luckily, the track is partially shaded and there was a nice breeze. Anyway, we were 1/2 way through the first lap, and my honey said, "let's jog from the next tree to the park bench". I looked at her like she had lost her mind... ME RUN?! I can't tell you the last time I actually did anything past a walk. I didn't even think that I knew HOW to jog.

I know that sounds silly, but after I did it I smiled. We continued walking and doing the random jog sprints for a total of 2 miles! HOLY CRAP is all I can say! D said, "I've never seen anyone smile when they jog". To me, it was the journey of a thousand miles, that began with that one step!

Anyway, I wanted to say congratuations to everyone for taking those daily steps for a healthier life!!
