W1D1 - I did it, guys!!

I know this is just the very first step so it's not a huge deal, but I'm still so happy and proud of myself for not quitting! I tried a couple weeks ago to start, and I freaking BOMBED. I just sat down in the middle and said I can't do this, there's no way. I was so sad. But I didn't quit - I built up my walking stamina for a couple weeks, tried again today, and totally finished with flying colors! :)

It wasn't easy, but by the middle I found my stride. The worst part by far was ankle pain (any pro-tips??) But I just kept telling myself your body is so hungry for this and also the incentive to make a success post on reddit was a huge motivator.

I wouldn't have started if not for all of your super motivating posts, so thank you to all of you - you helped this girl to get back up :)
