Day 7 and 7 pounds gone.
257/250/200
Day 7 and 7 pounds gone I got on my scale today and saw that my indicator went down to 250 pounds. So that is 7 pounds gone in seven days. Most of it is water, but at least water going away is good for blood pressure, better health, etc. I am walking up a nearby rather high hill and it takes me about 40 minutes to get to the top of the hill and then to bike down to my car. (Yesterday I was halfway up before I discovered I did not have my bike helmet with me. I continued up anyway and was careful and coming down.) This always involves perspiration and a heck of a lot of it. Very good for me, especially given my gout condition and also left heel tendinitis. I wear heavy hiking boots so I don't flex my feet much and this helps control the tendinitis. About a year and a half ago I thought I might have to have surgery to my left knee as well as tendinitis surgery, but it is amazing what can be done through physical therapy. I'm probably averaging between 1000 and 1200 calories a day. Sometimes a little bit more than that, but not much more. (It sure is easier to overdo it in two under do it.) My little hourly chants are quite helpful in reminding me of what I need to do to continue my progress and reminding me also of what progress I've made. The hourly reminders appeared to be very effective in maintaining motivation and I can see now why religious organizations engage in regular chants. Seems to me to be even more helpful than trying to pick out a certain date to try to diet too. Just keep at it and praise yourself a lot for your accomplishments. This might be very effective in many more things than dieting. I hope everyone makes their health goals! Yours, Caleb |
