When I started on Sunday, I was at my lowest weight in this journey. I had taken two 5-mile walks on the previous Thursday and Saturday. On Sunday and Monday, I took two 3-mile walks and my weight went up, but I am still lower than I have been. I am learning what is my maintenance mileage and where I can actually lower the weight.
I saw a friend on Monday and she complemented me on what I looked like and she really didn't think I needed to lose more weight. I have 15 more pounds to lose to get to my goal weight. When I do get to my goal weight, I do plan to stay on this same food plan and I do plan to stay with the same walking routine that I am currently doing. I am going to start incorporating some hiking into my routine and I am doing this because my daughter and some friends hike or want to hike and I want to join them. Doing this will make me work on one of my fears, but I know with their help I can do this.
This week has been pretty good, as I have stuck with my menu! Tuesday night, we did an almost 5 mile walk and went for frozen yogurt. Wednesday was a chaotic day, but I kept to plan, except for frozen yogurt and the weight still decreased. Thursday the food was good and I had a 5+ mile walk and the weight back to what it was on Sunday. This journey is still a matter of tweeks as I get lower, but I know that is normal. Saturday we went out for lunch and I was good and got a salad and will have enough salad for Sunday.
This week, the weight stayed relatively the same, which I am happy about, as this is my lowest weight, in this journey.
