That is within my possibilities. I will be your cheerleader and example of what happens when you don't exercise. My bloodclots came from sitting too long in one spot... :-(
So GO! and report your movement progress along with food.
Hugs, MJ
Aw MJ...we'll be your cheerleaders too! I *KNOW* you can do this...and you're going to be amazed at what it does for you! You may find that your diabetes goes away, or at least is controlled without meds...your blood pressure will drop...and as you get to where you can move more, the phlibitis (sp?) will go away. ~~HUGS~~ We're here for you, because we want you to be around a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG time! :)
