More downs than up.. in more ways than one!  An extended chill in New England really weakend my spirits along with some temporary weight increases.  Looking at the chart at least shows progress, though admittadly not quite as much as I would have liked.

Today like most other days I was exhausted after work.  I just wanted to get home and take a nap.  Fortunately on the way home I needed to run a few errands, which brought me very close to one of my regular trail heads.  So, I forced myself to just stop an walk for a little while.  Well, once I started moving I felt invigorated and did my full hour-long walk and when I got home I still had enough energy to knock some household chores out of the way!

I’ve mentioned before that one of my determinations for 2008 was raising the bar and turning everything up a notch and my health is no exception. 

It’s not a secret that I stand to shed a few dozen pounds, and an important step is to be motivated.  LiveHealthyAmerica.commakes it easy to build a team of like minded partners that can help motivate, share tips and offer encouragement.
