This week has gone much better on the exercise front... well, at least the walking front. I've walked 3+ miles every day and it felt great! Today I walked 4.4 miles at a 3.9 mph average. I actually ran a little ways which is good for a fat man!! Tomorrow morning might be a little tricky since we have to leave for the airport at 7:30am and I'm still packing at 11:20pm tonight!
We're leaving for Puerto Vallarta for 7 days.. I can't wait to get there and kick back. The only problem will be curbing my eating since we will be at an all-inclusive resort with all of the food you can eat 24/7. I love it but I'm a little nervous about what it will do to my weight. Ok, my goal is to NOT gain any weight! This morning I weighed 250.8 lbs.!!! That's 11 lbs lost since August 2nd! For me, that's awesome! I'm already feeling much better and healthier...more energy, but I still have a long way to go! As they say, every journey starts with a single step and since I have a month behind me, I feel like I've taken a giant leap! During the month of August, I still only missed one day of aerobic exercise!
Getting down to 250 is a milestone for me! Last time I went to see the doctor, I vowed that when I got on the scales, they wouldn't have to push the lower weight past the 250# mark! Well, I'm going back in a few weeks and I need to lose a few more pounds to compensate for the weight of my clothes! Or, I could just strip down! That would scare them to death! I do have an appointment with my cardiologist on the 17th! I hope he can reduce some of my meds and will clear me to work out harder.
Wish me luck since this will be a week of temptations! It will be fun though and I fully plan to exercise every day for at least 45 minutes or more!
Have a good week and VIVA La Mexico!!!
GOOD LUCK! I know you're already into the vacation a few days and you might not see this but I'm praying for you to make your goal, enjoy your trip, the food (at least a little) and come home even if not down a pound!
