Week One:  Two days of over 45 minutes of walking/running, and one day of 20 minutes of walking.

Week Two:  So far three continuous days of 45 minutes walking/running (and planning on another two days at least).

My way of cooking has changed.  I am trying to serve less meat on our plates and fill up with more fruit and veggie choices.

I go back to the doctor in two to three weeks and I will post my weight results.  Unfortunately it is always easier going on than coming off and I have never really had the good fortune of being able to drop weight easily.  So fingers crossed the running/walking helps jumpstart my metabolism.

How are your good health intentions coming along for the year?
