I've heard it. Know it works. I have proven it to myself and remember saying "Why didn't I do this sooner?" During a heavy stress time at work, home, kids, etc. I was diagnosed with diabetes and high bp. I was able to drop 40 lbs, bring my bp down with minimal meds and bring my A1C down from 8.6 to 6.9. It took me a year, but it did work. Somehow, in the juggling act that is my life, I got off track and have had one devil of a time finding my way back.

Just gotta make myself do it!

Start off small and work your way up! I feel like I'm almost back to square one, not quite, but I'm taking my time with it.
