A big loss! I made up for just losing 2 ounces last week by losing 4.2 pounds this week. I was so happy, but at the same time a little disappointed. Yes I did just say disappointed! Not at the 4.2 pound loss, that was awesome! But at the fact that I've lost in total 49.8 pounds, yes that's right I missed the 50pound loss mark by 2 ounces!!! I swear to goodness, 2 ounces is becoming my nemesis! Those pesky 2 ounces seem to be popping up left right and centre. It's enough to drive a girl crazy!
I did get a lot of steps in this week. I made a concerted effort to try to get to at least 15,000 steps a day this week. If I wasn't at that level by the time I got home, well then Angus Puppy got himself an extra walk in the evening!
Here is my step count for this week.
Saturday 19,441
Sunday 12,870
Monday 18,282
Tuesday 17,118
Wednesday 18,616
Thursday 17,260
Total Steps this week 103,587.
Not too shabby if I do say so myself! The goal for next week is to beat that total!
You probably noticed that I didn't include Friday in there, my reason is that depending on how you look at it, Friday is either the last day of the week or the first day of the week. Seeing as how I go to a mid day weigh in meeting, it's technically both. It's my old week until I get weighed and then it's my new week when I step off the scale.
It may seem silly, but that's my logic and I'm sticking to it. I never give myself any activity points on a Friday. I do however count all of my points. I don't believe in "cheat days" or "reward days" or "days off". If you are truly doing this as a LIFESTYLE change and not a diet, you need to truly live it and that means sticking to plan! It doesn't mean you can't have a treat every now and then. I had home fries with a turkey burger the other night for dinner, but every french fry was counted out for the serving size and the points were counted for it.
It looks like it's going to be a great weekend here. The forecast is for Sunny skies and warm temperatures so it looks like I'll be putting on those walking shoes and knocking off some kilometers as I try to get my walking speed for a 5k up before June 8th. That's the day I'll be participating in the Abbotsford Police Challenge Run supporting Special Olympics. If you live in the Lower Mainland you should consider signing up for either the 5k or 10k run. Here's the link to sign up. http://www.abbypd.ca/Challenge-Run
If you're participating in the Vancouver BMO Marathon, Half Marathon or 8K races, have a great race.
Have a great, safe weekend!
