It’s been almost 3 weeks since Sign1News anchor Jethro Wooddall began his weight loss journey.
He is walking every day.
So far he’s only missed one day and that was because of bad weather.
But he did hit a speed bump this week.
He didn’t lose any weight and an unexpected pain in his left leg forced him to slow down his 4-mile power walk to a slow stroll.
Jethro says it was a great reminder that he is human and he will suffer some setbacks along his weight loss journey.
But he didn’t stop.
He says he has to take this journey literally one step at a time until he reaches his ultimate weight loss goal of losing 50 pounds.
And luckily he’s not taking this journey alone.
In this week’s vlog, Jethro introduces us to one of his biggest supporters.
Wow! It’s a beautiful morning.
As I was walking, I remembered I told you a few weeks ago that I have the support and challenge from my best friend in another state while I’m walking.
Well here she is.
(waves “Hello!”)
This is my best friend Samantha.
We challenge each other to ensure we are walking.
Explain why you’re walking.
It was time for me to get healthy. I’ve been slacking on it but decided it was time to get healthy and at the same time support him.
Wow! See that? She supports me and I support her. That’s what best friends are all about.
Right! Love y’all!.
