My last weight loss journey: this is not medical advice

Last time I shared with you the amazing amount of fun I was having with acid reflux. The doctor put me on protonix. At first; I was super excited about this, until I started reading about the horrific side effects. It is my goal not to have to take these for very long. 🙏🏻 WhatContinue reading “My last weight loss journey: this is not medical advice”

My last weight loss journey: here we go again

For the month of November, I did the walking challenge 100 miles. 3.5 miles per day. I did it. A few days were really hard. Didn’t feel good. Tired. Just wanted to go to bed. But I did it. What did I win? Just the knowledge that I can do 3.5 miles a day.

Walking challenge: day 1

I’m not going to do a day by day update. I will only post on this, the first day. The 15th and the 30th; unless I walk somewhere really pretty. No worries that I’m going to flood your feed. 😉 3.3 miles for me is 8,600 steps (there about. According to Google). I’m short withContinue reading “Walking challenge: day 1”
