Going Down...Little by Little
I admit, loosing weight is difficult. Why is it that we can gain weight at the drop of a hat but near to impossible to loose it?
My end goal is 100 pounds.... sigh. It seems to be near to impossible. Even half that at 50 is a very long and arduous task.
I recently ran into someone that I've known for a very long time. In all of my collective memory she has been heavy, near to 100 pounds over weight. She is older than me by several years. About a year ago, she started a program, under a doctor's care. She lost an amazing 126 pounds!!!
From her I learned that it is a long and slow process. I also learned that I can do it. She has become my inspiration to keep on trucking and sticking with the lifestyle changes over the long haul.
As of this morning, I'm down 8 pounds and I've lost enough in inches around my waist that I literally had to tighten my belt to keep my pants up. Definitely going in the right direction.
I still continue to follow the Mayo Clinic diet. I am keeping between 1200-1400 calories a day, targeting for the 1200 but I'm not getting upset if I go over a bit. I continue to walk, using my Garmin vivofit to track my steps. I strive to at least hit my daily goal. Sometimes I exceed it. :)
Remember, We Can Do It!
