Walking to Lose Weight - Day Eight

Yesterday, I was achy all over, so I didn't do much walking to lose weight. I ate relatively well, attempting to watch portion sizes. However, I notice that the later in the evening it gets, the more I start jonesing for something to snack on. I went for that Walmart indulgence nut mix, which has chocolate bits in it and ate more than I probably should have, but as I said, for the most part, I think I ate relatively well.

Today, I admonished myself that I would push myself a little more today since I felt better and my aches were pretty much gone. After doing my daily morning routine of dropping everyone off to their respective destinations, my daughter and I went to a park and walked our butts off. Well, actually she sat in a stroller while I did all the walking.

The track at this park is a little shorter than the track at the park I usually go to, so I decided to walk around the track seven times instead of four to sort of equalize the walking distance. I believe I have accomplished my goal of walking to lose weight today. I'll be trying to focus on some other means of snacking so that I don't mess up on the eating part of this diet.

I have decided not to post my weight at this juncture since it hasn't really moved down. In fact, because of my pigging out this past weekend, I've actually gained a pound or two, so I'm going to work on that and then post when there's something to celebrate in that regard. It's hard to believe I've been doing this for more than a week now. The days to fly. Tomorrow will be day nine of walking to lose weight. I better stick to it.
