Hey there, Note to self <

Found this on judijmn's profile but am also going to try and utilize this as a way to hopefully use it as a guidance tool. I just don't want to get too stuck on numbers rather than trying to change more of my exercise and established eating habits that need to be most changed.  (chart previously posted by "diminishing dawn", keeping to make me feel better)

PS: Walked my First Mile with "Queenie" today. We did good. It was'nt a marathon but it was the first step of many to come. I have made a new friend which just tops the cupcake in exercise
