When I weighed myself yesterday, I was 169! I cannot express how nice it was to see that number. I haven't weighed myself today, but owing to the fact that I went to a wedding yesterday afternoon and perhaps ate more than I should have, I'm going to cut myself a break and not worry about today. But 169 is very exciting.
I do understand that, owing to my lack of exercise and my unusually reduced diet, this number is perhaps not really representative of my overall weight loss. But I'm going to try to keep my diet closer to what I'm eating now instead of going back to eating more. As it is right now, I really do fit into the Weight Watchers diet plan, so as long as I can continue to record my points and such I might be able to stick to it.
I'm going to start walking again tomorrow. Gingerly. I do NOT intend to jump right back into 4.5 miles. I need to make sure I take it easy...I'm still healing, and I need to resist the urge to push my limits until I'm all better. I think that walking 2 miles would be ok to start with. I'm not going to worry about timing or pace or anything...just walking 2 miles is fine for starters. I'll probably do this for at least 4 days this week. Next week, I'll bump it back up to 3 miles, and do that for a week or two. Since I think it was walking such a long distance that aggravated my appendix in the first place, I don't think it's bad to take a while getting back up to that point. Plus, I'll presumably be eating less in accordance with the Weight Watchers plan, so I should continue to lose weight. I have another 4-5 pounds to lose before the new year, and I think that I could even go beyond that. I'm excited. : )
Ok, off to clean house. Later!
