I had a mostly good week this week. I cheated on my eating plan on Friday night and ended up consuming over 2600 calories, way over my 2000-calorie limit. But, I got right back on the bandwagon Saturday morning, and I’ve been good ever since. The really good news this week is I lost 4.5 pounds!! I’m now down a total of 28 pounds. I put up a 25 pounds gone button. Hopefully, next week I’ll be able to “trade” it in for a 30 pounds gone button.
My walking endurance seems to be increasing gradually. I think that’s a good sign. If I can tolerate more exercise, I can burn more calories, right? There’s a fairly steep hill on one of the walking paths in the apartment complex where I live, and I’ve been able to make it up that hill 4 times in the past week. I made it the last two nights consecutively. One month ago, I wasn’t able to make it up to the top of that hill, so there’s another sign that things are moving in a positive direction. I hope I can keep this good mojo going. I hope everyone else on the Healthy You Challenge had a good week, as well. Think positive thoughts!!
REDUCTION ROAD ODYSSEY 
Congrats on the weight loss. It’s great that your endurance is improving. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! Progress is steady and I’m slowly improving. I can’t feel a difference from day to day, but I can from week to week.
How rewarding that you can look back and see these improvements since you’ve been walking. Good job.
Thanks! Sometimes it seems like progress is not measureable, but it is over a longer time period. Just have to be patient!
Congrats on the loss this week, that’s fantastic! You’ll have that 30lb bling in no time!
Thanks! I’m looking forward to that bling and the even larger blings that follow!
