Sean and Kenz's Water Challenge!

I've decided to accept the Challenge that Sean and Kenz are having. I don't think I'll have too much trouble with this one, since I'm really good at drinking my water. There are some days that I've been a little slack so this will keep me on track hopefully.

Things have been going about the same the past few days. The weather has been so incredibly hot, but I have still managed to get my walking in.  I have walked since July 1st a total of 27.78 km (17.26 miles for my U.S. friends). I haven't gone yet today. I try to wait until 8:30 p.m. or so when the sun isn't shining too much anymore. We have been suffering from a heatwave up here now for the past week. Today it currently is 34 degrees (93 degrees Farenheit) and with the humidex it feels like 45 degrees (113 degrees Farenheit). I'm surprised that I have kept it up in this heat because this is usually an excuse of mine ... to not walk because it's too hot. It is actually very dangerous to be doing anything strenuous during this heat but I can't give up now.

My weigh in for WW is tomorrow morning. I'm not expecting anything, although I sure as hell deserve it. I've been very good, but I know that with all this heat and humidity I am retaining fluid. I will keep struggling along.

I'll try to check in with an update on my weigh in.

Holy Hell ... I'm hot!

LOL! Well .... at least the weather is!!! It is so flipping hot. It has been 36 degrees with the humidex making it feeling like 44 the last couple of days. Unbelievable!

Things are going about the same and my weight is not moving anywhere. I'm doing pretty well on the eating part of things but my weight will not drop. I'm fluctuating between 258 and 262 all the time. Too bad I didn't have this weight off. I think I might be a pro at maintenance this time. I don't know what else to do.

I've started walking at the first of July and so far, as of today, have walked 23.83 km. That's even in the blistering heatwave. I'm going to try to walk everyday this month and see what the scales say by the end of July. There had better be something.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the damn scales to move in the right direction. I have such a problem with fluid retention, especially in this heat, that I'm hoping once it cools off I have a huge drop. I'll keep at it though and eventually I should see the 50's and stay there, that is until I can get to the 40's. At this rate, I'll never get this weight off.

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well and I'll check back in soon. I'm hoping for a bit of a drop at Friday's weigh in. We'll see!
