Weighing in for Week 55

I was somewhat disappointed in my weigh-in this morning. I honestly thought with all the extra walking I've been doing that I'd see great movement on the scale this week. I did see movement, but it wasn't great! I also realize sometimes it takes things a little while to show up, so I'm not going to be discouraged, just disappointed.

And I'll continue to walk with Leslie every morning until the end of the month, then I'll do something to change up the excercise again. I'll make sure I'll still be burning at least the same number of calories in what I do. I'll also continue to walk with Leslie at least every other day in March. I want to be able to do the whole video without sitting down and moving my feet and I won't get there if I do it less than every other day. I'd continue to do it every day in March, too, but keep reading how you should change things up, so I will.

Been staying right around the same calories every day and in the range of 1500-1600 so I know that's okay. Water has been about twelve glasses most days with a day or two up to sixteen. I really think my body is just going through a resting period. I also know it's about that time for a week of water retention so I'm not fretting the slight change on the scale this week. Perhaps by the end of next week, the monthly monster will have appeared and gone and I'll be back to dropping pounds once again. I also have that doctor appointment on the 28th and will have my TSH level re-checked for my thyroid. I suspect I'll see another increase in my Synthroid and that will possibly help boost my weight loss again, as well.

Now that you're really wondering "how much did this girl lose this week" I guess I should tell you. First, though, how many of you skimmed this post looking for the number? Be honest, now.

I walked a total of 24,098 steps this past week. That's the most steps I've walked in a week since I got my pedometer. That was an average of 3443 steps per day. Wow! Of the total number of steps walked, 7645 of them were aerobic steps. Wow, again! Almost one third of my total steps were aerobic steps. Cool!

And now, since you've been so very patient with me, I guess I'll tell you what the scale registered as my weight for the day. This is my official weigh-in for week 55. It showed 410 pounds which is one pound less than last week. At least it is less and not the same or more so I'm going to be happy about it. The single pounds do add up with time and that's a fact!
