Small Successes

Tonight was not disheartening however I lost .4. I was thankful for not having a gain but I sure would have enjoyed a larger loss. It all takes steps to go down. I counted back to my fourth week in month one and looked in the book to find that is when I had the 2.2 gain. It's that time of month so now I'm excited to see what's going to happen again next week. I'm getting closer to that 10% mark which I'm excited to reach.

I'm down to 25 points per day and it has been harder for me to make sure I stay in that range. I've done it however with a bit of sadness wanting a few more goodies to eat, not because I'm hungry just because things looked good.

I walked again tonight and I'm looking forward to jumping back into that this week. Leaving for Mexico on 3/28 so I have definite goals for that trip. I won't be disappointed if I'm not at 188 but I sure would like to be by that time.

Feeling better in my jeans. How about you?

  1. Hey Girl,
    Any day that the scale goes down is a good day! You're being smart to consider this same time a month ago. Next week is gonna be fun :)

    You're also doing awesome with your walking. Are you finding it easier to complete the 30 minutes? Now that you're feeling stronger, consider throwing in some very fast (sprints) walking. After you've warmed up, walk as fast as you can (I did a slight jog) for about 60 seconds, til you think you can't go any further. Return to normal walking until you've recovered. Then go at it again. By doing this, you're confusing you heartrate and really challenging it. I've heard doing this interval type training for 30 minutes, can be about the same as 45+ minutes of just the straight walking. Will boost your metabolism even more, burning more calories and burning more fat.

    Love your smile and can do spirit! You inspire me!

  2. Dawna,
    I tried to post on here 3 times the other night and it just wouldn't go through. Hope it works this time. Anyway, way to go Lady! I may have to cut you off of the wedding list because you could show up the mother of the bride.

    Keep it up!

    Kathy
