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!

I think we have the same sodium problems, and unfortunately, I don't think there's much we can do about that outside of severely limiting salt intake in the foods we cook and eat at home and staying out of the restaurants as much as possible, and the obvious one...drinking TONS of water. I try to drink (4) 32 oz glasses a day for my sodium problem. Very proud of you for doing all that walking!! Keep it up girl!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm no good with the metric system. 36 degrees is cold where I come from. lol And I have no idea how far you've walked. Can we say ignorant?
ReplyDeleteYou know what stinks? Sometimes that scale (I blame the scale, not my body) just doesn't want to move, no matter how good we are. Aside from your heat wave, if you're starting a new exercise program, you may notice your body shrinking but the number on the scale staying the same. I had that issue. I lost a size but lost very little weight.
I also suffer from heat-induced edema. My legs and ankles swell up huge in the heat. So no doubt you're having problems from the heat. Drink lots of water...more than you want! The good news is that now that I'm closer to 200, my swelling isn't nearly as bad...so keep your eye on that prize. Next summer it's going to be a whole lot different for you!
Best wishes.
Hey Jo .... I wouldn't say ignorant at all when it comes to metric. I still don't really know it. LOL! I've only lived with it since the late 70's or early 80's. LOL! I use it for some things but not others. For example I weigh myself in pounds. I usually have a heck of a time driving in the US trying to remember not to drive 100 miles an hour instead of 60.
ReplyDeleteI'll be looking forward to not nearly as much edema next year. It is awful! Some days I can gain 5 or 6 pounds of fluid. Not fair!!! Anyway, I'll take your advice and keep my eye on the prize.
Hope you're feeling better!
