Yesterdays Wrap Up

Just wanted to write a quick something about what happened with the rest of my day and give everyone my morning weigh in.

After walking nearly 7 miles yesterday- I exceeded my goal of 10,000 steps! Instead, I walked 12,474 steps. Having walked and pushed a stroller for both Lake of the Isles and Calhoun yesterday- my Fit Day health trackers say I burned 471 calories.

I kept my water intake high too- using my 16 oz (thats 2 cups) water bottle- I had over 8 glasses of water (4 water bottles +).

I was excited to weigh in this a.m. and found I had lost more of the baby weight and reached a new post- baby low of 171.0 lbs. Just over one pound to go and I have gotten out of the 170s! Fit Day is great with helping me asses and record where I have been and where I'm going. It updates my BMI (currently 30.29 and still classified as Obese- which most people are shocked that I'm considered Obese). I'm almost into the "overweight" category- just .3 lower and I'll be in that category! So what does that mean? It means I have 29.87 pounds to go before I'm considered "Healthy" and no longer overweight or obese. I'm so excited for that day.

Since this is all about being completely honest with the numbers and the workouts- I can truly celebrate once I have achieved my goal. If I had halved my goal and said I needed to lose 25 lbs originally instead of my true goal of 50-or if I were utilizing weight loss supplements, I don't think I would be as proud when I achieve my goal.

I find that the more active I am, the better person I can be. I have more energy, more focus, and I stay positive more easily. It's fabulous!

I haven't decided what I will do for my workout today- but I haven't checked the weather either.
