Walked to my mailbox tonight. Sixty-six steps there. Sixty-one steps back. I took a few longer strides on my way back... five I guess ..smiles.
First time I've felt like, and been able to, walk to and from my mail box in over a year.

I didn't check my heart rate before going out. When I got back it was in the 120's or 130's(I lost count ).
Thirty minutes later it is 88 which is about normal for me.

My back didn't begin to hurt at all until the the last few steps.

I'm thanking God for leading me to this decision, this way of life .. thanking Him for showing me I can begin to have quality in my life again.
God is good .. all the time.
