In three weeks, I've lost an average of 1.2 pounds per week. It doesn't sound like much, it honestly doesn't feel like much, but looking at the long term of it, if I continue on this path, I'll be at 185 by my wedding, and that is something I can be happy with.
Could I have done better these past three weeks? Sure. If I had been 100% strict with myself, and let's face it, I do that, and I go crazy and go completely off the wagon.
So what's worked? My daily check off box for one. I just mark of each day, write how many steps I've gotten in per day, and how I've felt I've done with food. Good, bad, okay, can I do better. And then I do it all over again the next day. One day at a time seems to keep me in check.
I've also only weighed myself once a week, before I was doing it several times a week, and when I lost well it was great, but if I had gained back some of that I'd be disappointed in my smaller weight loss. Once a week seems to be helping.
What I'm worried about is that the other day in the city, while trying to run to Union Station to catch my express train back to the suburbs, I twisted my already sore ankle. So I'm not sure how well I'll do at walking this week, not to mention it's supposed to rain a ton this coming week anyway.
The more I walk, the more my left ankle hurts even before I twisted it. I have severely pronated feet and so of course there's not much I can do other than a good orthodic. I may just have to get up at 6 am and get on the bike at the clubhouse. I dunno.
Anyway, that's my progress so far.
