Morning all!
Well, I got out my trusty TOPS Exchange record & food diary and dusted off my favorite old WW recipe books that had the exchange system, woke up the scale and got on board June 1 st. Not much happened. It is very hard to walk much these days plus we have relocated to a beautiful little WI river town who's streets all go up to a startling angle. Then I had a head slap and got out my Nordic walking sticks! I felt really silly with them in TX, but here many people use them every day. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! It feels so good to enjoy walking again! No more sharp knee and hip pain (so far) while walking and I'm not sore afterwards. My arms are stiff and hands don't like it much, but it's really worth it. Plus it is good upper body exercise. Do steep hills double the step count? It's only fair.
