Day 2

Today was a better day. There is no doubt that I am way out of shape. On all of the outdoor beach activites where there is walking or running I have been consistanly last, BUT I FINISHED.

I walked 28 flights of stairs....whew who would have thought. My pain level is not as bad but it is evident that I did this to myself but I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Meeting with the nutritionist and dietician were enlightening and I realize that this is a very complex issue and that part of changing my life will need to include supplements and vitamins.

All in all a better day. Off to bed these early nights are a shocker too me...lol

Thanks to all my friends as even though I need to do this myself it sure is nice to see how many people love and care about me.

  8. How fortunate are you to have so many caring friends! I'll be thinking of you when I am on the tread! Noone deserves it more. Now for some pedestrian quotes..."Failure is not an option", "Every great journey starts with one small step". "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels", and of course from Nike "JUST DO IT"! blah, blah, blah. My best thoughts and wishes always, Stacy*

  9. I take about 15-20 supplements a day. But I do believe it makes a huge difference. Work hard, study hard and focus on the finish

  12. Ira,

    Sounds like they're working you over, good stuff! I can really sense the emotion of you realizing this task at hand, that comes through.

    I'm looking for a lean, mean fighting machine in 30 days!!!

  13. Hi, Ira, Today is day three. Just wondering how it went today. Speaking from experience - Day 3 is usually a difficult day because your muscles are not accustomed to all the activities. I admire you more than my words can say. Hang in there, you are such a determined person, I am positive you will make it. Good Luck, Tina
