...In a little over 2 months of walking and not inhaling(eating!!) everything in sight, Dr. reported I've lost 9 Lbs., my B.P. is lower, and my A1C (blood sugar) has dropped from a 10, to 6.7, keeping it under 7 the goal number, and this was documented on paper from my lab work, directly related to my left hip replacement on 2-28, it was up around 10, regular reaction to any surgery),and going down DRAMATICALLY, when I started walking mid/end of March, to 6.7/6.8.....I'm working on a 40-50 Lb. weight loss, I'm almost 25% of the way there!!! Thank you Lord, AAAmen!!...PS: I have not ventured into Lake Michigan with my newly overhauled Fisher 1280X yet, said on the news last night it's still 45 degrees up near Montague, where I live......
