Walking for Wellness - Week 8

 Hello there Adventurous Friends, this is where I'm keeping up with my eating & walking  activities in attempts to get my weight & cholesterol back down.  I had to/was able to put my belt in the second notch hole. Yay!  Previously, I could barely get it in the 1st notch.  Kevin said it was a good thing he made that banana pudding or else I would of had to use the 3rd hole.  Haha!  Not funny.

Here's my plan & lets see how I did this week.

  • Eat varieties of all the foods I like & not deprive myself
  • Eat a variety of fruits & vegetables, at least 1 fruit & 1 green vegetable a day

  • Drink more water

  1. Good for you for getting into a new/smaller belt size! I have been having lots of "hungry not going away days" lately and it's just killing me. I try to eat more fruits and veggies but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I'm hopeful that all the extra exercising I've been trying to add in is the cause and it's a good thing but it's so hard to not overeat when I get to feeling like that.
