I always heard the saying taking it day by day, and it got me to thinking, and I figured out I needed to slow that down to step by step and trust there is enough lite to let me stand that moment of stepping forward. My successes have been small, but there has been successess and there will be more, step by step!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
