Since Angela started walking in April, she has no intention of stopping. Here's the story she shared with the Million Step March community:
"I started walking back in April. I woke up one Saturday morning and thought to myself, I need to start walking. So off I went and I have not stopped! I felt like Forrest Gump!
"My new year resolution, of course, was to lose weight (ha) and eat healthy, so that is what I have been doing since the first of the year. I have felt so much better since I started walking. I have MS and when the ability to walk is suddenly taken away, the days you can walk feel great. Since I started my walks, which are about three miles with the last half uphill, I have been steadily dropping the pounds. As of Monday 7/7/08, I have dropped 28 pounds. I am losing the fat and gaining muscle (the scale I use figures it all for me).
"Now, every day I look forward to getting off work and hurrying home and getting dinner fixed so I can hit the pavement. What a great feeling!"
