Good morning, everyone........How are we doing today? I hope everyone has has a good week.
My week was busy, but not bad. Didn't get a lot accomplished though, which I don't like, but it's over now and nothing I can do to change what's already gone past. I did help my husband clear some things out of his shop to haul to the dump and to recycling, so at least I got something accomplished.
As far as eating is concerned, I haven't done too badly. We had sort of gotten into the habit of going out to do an errand, and running into Mickey D's to eat, "on the way"......... I did tell hubby that we need to stop doing that, because it's bad for my weight and my health, since I do have high cholesterol, so we haven't done that the past few days. I've been trying to stick with lots of veggies, whole grains, protein, etc.
Exercise - I've walked for at least an hour/day (the path we take is approx 3 miles), every day this past week - no, I'm sorry, one day we had to cut short because of impending rain.
Once again, my weight has been all over the scale, from a high of 153 one morning, to 147, that afternoon, then back to 150 by evening, so of course, we know that's water weight. I have a doctor's appointment coming up on the 27th, at which I will be sure address this issue.
At any rate, this morning, the scale settled on 150, which is 2 lbs less than last week, so I'll take that loss, even though I know it could be either higher or lower before the day is over. I can feel the muscles in my legs and back getting stronger, so I know the walking is helping. I should have taken my own advice and measured myself before I started the walking to see exactly what's going on, because I know I'm building muscle and some of my jeans fit a bit looser in the legs, rear and waistline. I think I will still measure myself, just to see where I'm at now, and track as I continue.
So -- that's where I'm at; now what about you?
Remember - we win by losing - weight..
Wishing everyone a great week.
I still managed to lose 0.5 lbs.
