It really has been a while since I last updated. I can't say why I stopped updating, not can I explain my mindset. I had just started my running program when I noticed that the inside of my left knee started throbbing. So I stopped the program for a while and decided to let it get better. Well then we moved and I just stopped everything, I stopped going to Weight Watchers, mainly because we don't have the money to keep me going, but also because I just got into my normal funk and decided that I didn't want to go nor keep track of everything I ate. Well, it all fell apart and I just got fed up again. I hadn't let myself slip all the way back mainly because I have set a goal to lose at least 50 lbs by Nov. We are going to Sacramento for Thanksgiving and so I set my goal.
We started the pedometer contest at work and I signed up to participate in it. They are used a website to track our steps called: http://startwalkingnow.org/. It's the American Heart Association's website. They have a steps tracker plus a food tracker, but I am using the http://www.livestrong.com, the daily plate. My ultimate goal is 100 lbs, but I will start with 50. I never thought that walking everyday was going to help me lose weight, but there was an article on Livestrong.com called Walking Tips To Lose Weight, here is the link: http://www.livestrong.com/article/104473-walking-tips-lose-weight/?utm_source=augustnewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=100803. I have been trying to increase my walking to 45 minutes each morning, but some mornings I only get 30 in. At least I am going each morning. Well it is getting late and I have to get up for my walk at 5:30.
