    For you, walk my shorty friend. And trust me, this is gonna be tough for you…
    As for the calorie intake, take half as much. We have to consume 2200 calories a day and depends what you eat greatly influences how your metabolism, heart rate and cholesterol can take. If you’re body is used to one way, then your body is used to it, gonna have to change a habit, understand?
    For now, walk, walk and that will greatly improve your stamina. And when I mean walk, walk for only 20 minutes. Do that for a week and the nest, do it for 30 and so on. But like I said, is your body getting used to it and making sure it fits well to your schedule. It has to be intune. As for the muscle building…
    Start of slow but if I would recommend, the walking(or jogging or running), will have an impact on your muscles. It even works on your stomach so keep that in mind. Understand that when we work out, our muscles are tightening and our heart is beating fast. That’s when you wanna take advantage because you burn more calories that way.
    Is like that saying goes…the harder you workout, the better it will be in the long run. One day at a time, remember. Is not about how much you eat or not, is about how much your body can take and get used to it. And before you know it, you’ll be doing diamond push ups with your eyes closed…actually, closing your eyes will have no effect, :)
    Fruits, and veggies are good for you. I know you may like oranges or grapes, everyone does. Or even a freakin apple. At least take one a day and trust me my lil shorty friend, the girls will take off your shirt once you reach high school, :)
    Good luck.
