Walking

In preparation for my upcoming surgery that will take place in 11 days, I have begun a walking program. I have gotten up every day this week at 6:00 a.m. and walked for 30 minutes. My distance in seven days has recently increased as I have started walking a little faster. To this date I am walking 1.68 miles. I am hoping to get it to about three miles each day.

I realize that I didn't just wake up one day and weigh 285 pounds. It is going to take some time to lose this weight. I have prayerfully decided that my goal weight is going to be 175 pounds. It is going to take a lot of prayer and hard work, but I am confident that He who began a good work in me is not finished with the job yet.
