I'm already walking 20 minutes a day. I plan to walk another 20 minutes if possible and up my speed of walking. I am adding core and upper body exercises using hand weights. I plan to add more core exercises and also to dance when the weather won't allow me to walk.
What diet will you follow?
Spark diet of charting all my calories, eating more fruit and vegetables, less sugar...Eat 2 fruits a day and more protein to stave off the feelings of hunger. With gardening season upon us, I will be eating more fresh veggies and fruit.

I will post to the general chat forum daily if possible, track miles and life points daily and comment on one members page daily.
