I must keep it up as it seems to be the only way I can keep in control.rnrn

Well today I went for a walk with my trusty pedometer - I used 2 just to be safe the my steps were being counted proper. 3600 steps 1/2 of them are on an incline (mountain town) felt like more but I know they say you should walk 10,000 steps a day for real weight loss. Maybe to morrow I will venture farther the weather looks warmer tomorrow. Will now log on to my fitday.com sight to input my food & exersise for the day.rn

Yesterday I stayed in and prepared food (South Beach Diet Style) and tracked all my food intake. My car is in the shop so I walked to the store for vegetables.etc. 15 min walk up hill but down hill coming home! I used my knapsack & two bags. I looked like a pack mule but it felt so great . I even stopped by the lake and took a picture.
