I was 247 at the beginning of the year....the first weigh in of the new year. I was sitting at 245 on Saturday and 245.4 this morning (Chinese last night = lots of sodium = water retention so I’m not worried about the .4 difference). So I have made some progress...but seriously I want it to go off as fast as it came on!
So I guess lots of water for me today to flush out that sodium laden meal! (Speaking of water...I’m not where I want to be with water consumption and I’m adding flavor packs to some of my bottles.....but there has been no diet soda ..or any soda yet in 2018!)
Last week I kept my word. On my breaks I rode the elevator down to the lobby...used the bathroom and then walked up the stairs to the floor I work on. The first days I was breathing like a freight train after a few floors...and my lungs felt like they were going to explode by the time I got to my floor. I kept going though...every day...every 15 minute break I climbed the steps! My legs ache...I still breathe heavily...but I can see small changes in how I’m breathing and feeling when I get to the top of my climb...and I’m seeing that my breathing remains normal for higher in the building each time I do it! I tell myself that this is good and will carry me well with hiking...it’s gotta help for those mountains and hilly trails!
So yes I started my Monday of this week with a couple climbs on my breaks and I plan on continuing all week long!! And the weather is supposed to be in the 40’s today so I am hoping to walk around the lake on my lunch break!! At least that’s my hope!!!
So nothing fast and furious...but I’m still working toward making progress...albeit sloooooowly.
