I got home from work, had a nice dinner with chicken and salad. Then Shawn's mom and I went for a nice 2 mile walk. It was pretty fast. She has long legs and has been walking like 80 minutes a day for months now, so I had to keep asking Lady Long Legs to slow down so I could keep up. It felt really good. Today counts as a perfect day acording to what I had planned. Now for tomorrow... I'll let you know.
Way to go Anna! Looks like you are making the real changes you want to. Keep up those perfect days. I'm glad to hear about your walking and eating right. Reading your last post made me think how much more likely we are to have weight stay off long-term when we lose weight by working out AND eating right. Losing weight any other way just cannot be sustained over time. I was reading again this morning that someone who eats 4-5 small meals a day and works out regularly can expect to lose 1-2 pounds a week. It just isn't realistic or even possible to lose much more than that for very long without severe calorie restriction or working out intensely for prolonged periods of time, or both (like they do on the Biggest Loser show.) Thanks for the good example Anna!
