Two months ago, I was not even able to walk to the mailbox less than 150ft away from my front door without being in extreme pain.
Today after weeks of work, I was able to walk from my kids' favorite park all the way back home. The wife and I took our girls there to play and to have a little picnic. When it was time to leave, I helped put everyone in the car, made sure their seat belts were buckled in and kissed them all good bye.
I watched them drive off and I started walking. Along the way, there were many benches that looked so comfortable to sit on. I kept telling myself that I would sit on the next one and kept doing that until I made it home. I never stopped once to sit.
This is a huge win for me.
To anyone hesitant to start, don't. It literally gets easier with every step you take.
If I can do it, you can do it.
I started by pacing back and forth on my balcony. I made it a point to get to 5000 steps each day no matter what. ( I used an app called Habitica to help keep me motivated ). When I felt like getting to 5000 was easy, I added 500 to my daily goal and proceeded from there.
Also, I kept my calories below 2000 ( for my weight it may be too much - I failed many times and ended up bingeing a few times late at night ) but I am keeping at it. I am taking it one day at a time.
Don't give up !
