Walk like an Egyptian

So I started on the treadmill yesterday, 30 minutes (we have a work gym). I have put in my online agenda so I will be prompted to do it daily. I figured if I wrote about it here I would actually have some accountability. I have not accepted that I may never get into my size 14 pants again. I have this vision of a healthier, leaner me and I want it come true. A wise friend said it's more about the consistency of exercise as opposed to the actual exercise I get done. I want more energy and to live a happy, long life.

A co-worker sent this email below...too funny
