Losing Weight - Five Days Have Passed

Five days have passed since I last logged in. I feel good about this walking to lose weight blog, because I guess I'm using it sort of as a confessional too. I feel like, in the event you come across my posts, then I am somewhat accountable to you too for my actions towards my weight loss. This weekend I've been ultra celebrating since I finally hit the 170s last week. I believe I am back to the 180s just because of that celebrating.

That does not make me feel great, but since I know I'll be back into the swing of things come Monday, I'm not feeling too horrible. One of the main things that I notice is helping with the weight loss is preparation. If you prepare ahead of time what you will eat and what exercise you will try to get in during the week, then you just have to follow up on it. For example, I have purchased all of the vegetables I plan to eat for the entire week. I have also sliced, diced and zip lock bagged them into daily portions. That way, when it's time to grab a snack, their all set to cook, saute or what have you.

Walking to lose weight is not all it's cracked up to be in my opinion. One likes to see more immediate results, doesn't one. However, if you keep your eyes on the prize, in my case, 30 lbs less come September, then it all seems like I'm right on track and all I have to do is just keep it up. I'd say I've lost 10 lbs or so since starting this diet about a month or so ago. This weekend I've probably gained back about two, so tomorrow I'll be back on my Ps and Qs and working towards seeing more of the 170s more consistently. What a beautiful thing it will be when I actually hit the 160s, don't you think!
