Thank you

First of all I want to start out by saying "Thank You". The support on this journey has been amazing to say the least. It has only been 4 days since I started this blog and the support here, on facebook, the emails and phone calls have been over whelming. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

So this is the first update since my original post. I went to the doctor today to find out my BP is still a concern. But on the upside....or should I say down? I have lost another 5 pounds! Woo Hoo....happy dance. So down a total of 9 pounds to find myself sitting at 239 pounds. And yes that is difficult for me to say. Many people have messaged me saying how brave I am to put my weight etc out there like this. That they could never tell their weight. But when I decided to take this journey in such a way, not only did I decide to be honest with myself for this to work. I had to be honest with all of you. As much as it pains me to say it. But a day will come that I will be proud of my weight and what I have accomplished and that number will no longer matter.

I was telling my doctor today about meeting Michelle 3 times a week to walk 2.5 km. He said it was great but there will come a time that it will no longer work. He said that walking is a good way to start. That I am young and will need new things to keep me active. Like a younger man he said. LOL. God bless him! I told him, like I want someone seeing me naked right now??? NOT! And the doc tells me not to be so silly. Silly to him maybe. Not to me.

So instead of a younger man....Michelle and I will be taking our walking up a little. We are aiming in the next week to walk twice around Chingcousy park. 5km! That will help step it up a bit. So till next time. Thank you all for being my support. And if you know of anyone that would like to join us for walking, please don't hesitate to join in.
