I must be something right, but I honestly don't see how.
All I seem to do is eat, walk, sit, stretches.
Sleep is over rated.
Only get on good day about 4 or 5 hours.
Bad days are a couple hours here and there.
But I dropped another pant size.
Down to size 8 now.
Will start focusing on waist line abit more.
Almost time to walk to the 15 minute timer.
I walk to the timer 4-6 times a day.
Got to move otherwise I get really really stiff.

Size 8? Thats really good.

Thank you.
When I started getting healthy I wore size 26 plus size.
This was after I had gotten injured, medicine.
Taken along time to get to where I am now.
Now I wear off the rack, shelf size 8.
Shirt size is still a 12-14.
Pretty happy all in all.
