So once again I try.......

Were it not for the fact that my weight is unhealthy, I wonder why I even try. My body seems to want to stay where I am, but I don't.

So once again I am working to lose weight. My starting weight this summer, as measured on June 8th was 279.4. The first week was bad...gained 3 pounds. This really pissed my off and I started a walking regimen that would get me walking for 30 minutes, five times a day. The first week on this regimen I lost 6 pounds.

The nice thing about where we live is that it is right by a park that has multiple walking routes. To complete my walks I take a route that when I complete the circuit 4 times is close to 2 miles. The first week, like I said, I lost 6 pounds (but didn't keep to the walking regimen as well as I could have). Last week I was at scout camp and gained a pound (shrug...I was walking all over the place but also ate more than I do at home). This week I am really working to hold to the walking regimen. Monday I walked 4 times (21k steps). Tuesday because of a swim meet I only walked 6k steps. Today I got in all five walking sessions, took 23k+ steps, walked close to 11.5 miles, and burned 1485 kcals (all according to the pedometer I bought.

Who knows maybe this time it will be different. The pedometer seems to keep me motivated. BTW supposedly an active person walks approximately 10,000k steps a day.
