ouch

i've taken up walking again.  i have to lose weight and i'm so unfit.  i'd love to jog but for the life of me i can't run or jog.  i tried tonight.  walk briskly for a minute or so and then jog for a short period. (very short) i managed about five metres.  that's really sad isn't it?  and my shins hurt, but that will get better.  i must say it made a difference because although i walked the same distance i felt like i'd gotten a better 'workout'.  i got up a sweat in fact.  i could never jog or run, even in school.  i am quite flexible and can do a bit of yoga but i've never been 'bouncy'.  by that i mean running and jumping and getting off the ground in fact. does that make sense?  probably not.  i'm also making a concerted effort to eat smaller portions and def. not go back for seconds.  i borrowed the gabriel method from work and quite frankly it doesn't make sense yet.  having said that i haven't even finished the first chapter but i'll give it a go.  it came with a cd including a meditation session which i'm def. going to try.
