I've been walking 4.5 miles a day, 5 days a week since Jan 2nd. As of today, I have lost ~53 pounds, gone from being pre-diabetic to normal levels, lost my entire wardrobe in the process, and finally my Vans died. They have been loyal a.f.

Glad they helped me on this journey to better health.

I hadn't done the math like that, but dang, that is a lot. Its the best thing to do. I walk, clear my mind, solve problems, talk to myself, be one with my maker, and just have me time. If I don't go, I feel weird. Walking is the best. I highly recommend. My best was to try keep a solid 4 miles in an hour, but that is no longer feasible. I do maybe an hour ten minutes so the whole walk is around one hour twenty minutes if I am struggling.
