I am so happy that Wednesday is here again and I can see the tangible results of the changes I am making. This past week I did well with my eating, and the habitual reaching for certain foods happened less and less. I believe the Lord is truly giving me a new mindset with this.
Without further ado, here are the results:
Weight last week: 247.5
Weight this week: 243.5
- 4 pounds!!!
I am so happy with that number. I knew why the scale didn't go down last week and I just kept with it.
I also am becoming more active. When you are as overweight as I am and have developed joint pain from arthritis, it can be very painful. I can now 'run' down stairs again rather than two footing them. The secret for me is walking - and to push myself a little more each time.
My next goal is to begin riding my bike and build up my endurance. I really want to ride my bike to work - which is 10 miles each way.
Thank you to everyone for your encouragement to me on this journey.
Blessed Everything,
Karen
