Mrs. G's Journey to Better Health

Feeling blue about the fact that I am coming up on a year of trying to loose weight and am not seeing progress. No one to blame, no excuses, it's my doing. I let others get in my way, I put others ahead of me. It's a struggle but it is my real struggle. I enjoy going out and doing stuff that requires lots of walking, especially geocaching. What stinks is that after a lot of walking it used to take me a day or two to recover. Now it takes me much longer. I went out and got a lot of walking in for Father's Day weekend but the next day my knees were killing me. *sigh* Can't give up. I  will continue walking and having fun, but I will have to tone the walking down. Unfortunately, it also means I can not have as many treats, aka, cheat foods. Less walking means I burn less calories and so I have to make sure I consume less high caloric food. Let me digress for a couple of pictures from my walks. Along 15 fwy near and Whiskey Pete's, better known as the Seven Magic Mou...

We set out to potentially get 14 caches. With two little ones in tow, we only made it to 4 locations and found 3 of them. On the plus side, I : - drank five 8oz glasses of water - walked 10,324 steps - exceeded my calorie intake budget by less than 50 calories - synched my FitBit for the 3rd day in a row - and made a blog post for the 3rd day in a row on SparkPeople Goals for Tomorrow: - drink as least as much water as I did today - walk at least 8,000 steps - stay within my calorie intake budget - synch my FitBit - make a blog post
