5 weeks of losses

I have had 5 straight weeks of losses!  This is my longest stretch of losses to far.  Some have been less than a pound or as much as 5 pounds.  I don’t care how much it is, as long as my weight graph does not go up I am happy.  I lost 1.75 pounds this week!  And next week will be better!

Everyone have a safe 4th of July!

Pedometers

I wear a pedometer everyday.  After my walk this morning I looked at it and I had already met all my step goals for the entire day!   It is so cool to see what I am doing.  It is interesting to see how much I can do in a day as well.  I think the most I have done so far is 14,000 steps.  And let me tell ya, I was very sore that night.

Anyway my point is if you haven’t tried using a pedometer it’s something to think about.  I have noticed I do better if a move throughout the day and the pedometer helps me accomplish that.  It also shows me when I have sat around and done nothing all day.  I got mine on line at amazon.com.  You can find them for as little as $10 or as much as $100.  Mine is an Omron Walking style, it has all the bells and whistles.  It retails for $50, I found it on sale for $32 with free shipping.
