Well I did it! Today is the 365th day since I started walking at least a mile every day. In total I walked 350 days - took the day off when I had total knee replacement on 7/27/23 and took two weeks limping with a walker to be able to get back up to a mile.
Because I do all my walking in my house, I haven’t been restricted by rain, snow, sleet, hale, or Virginia humidity. At times, I was limited by knee pain, but I always still walked at least a mile, regardless of how much it hurt.
During that year, I lost right at 50 pounds (76 since last June). I've also increased my stamina from only being able to walk 1/4 mile at a time with great difficulty to being able to walk a mile at a time pretty easily.
Maybe someday I’ll be able to say it’s been a year since I had a Diet Coke!
