The Good:
I went for my thirty minute walk today. It was just challenging enough for me to break a little sweat. I felt my muscles warm up and my heart beat. I loved the fall weather in California, warm with a slight drizzle. I will do this again tommorrow. One day I may even be back up to my 6 miles a day. For now I am happy to know that 1.5 miles is better than zero. Happy walking!

October Update, okay it is a little late!
The Good:
I have followed up with my doctor and as it turns out I most definitely have a digestive disorder. I am still undergoing testing and taking medication until they can pinpoint the exact nature of my condition. The basically puts any real diet plans on hold.
The Bad:
I had to temporarily move in with my grandma who is 84 to help take care of her. So I basically have no schedule for exercise and my equipment is still at my house. I find I have no time for myself and that is not good. I have the motivation and a plan for exercise, but I seem to be lacking the time and space. Oh yeah I fell off my walks at lunch time and on the weekend this month!
My Progress:
Well I weight 149 last time I went to the doctor last week.
My Plan:
For now, provided it doesn’t rain I will walk every Saturday and Sunday morning and throw in my 30 minute walks during lunch again. Eventually I would like to add some evening walks and cycling when I return home!
What I have learned:
I need to be flexible with my exercise plan so that I do not abandon it completely when things go wrong. I need to find a better way of measuring my success besides weighing myself. I will keep up with the scale monthly just to monitor things.
