Still walking…
Hi all! I ended last week with 6.3 miles walked. I am thrilled with my accomplishment. This week my goal is 7 miles, not much more, but I want to encourage myself to go a little farther each week. I have also been drinking more water - which was another thing I had to train myself to do.
I have decided that I will not weigh myself until December 1. Focusing on the scale weekly sets me back. It is more of a hinderance than a help, so I decided for me it will be monthly weigh ins. Just wanted to share in case you are monitoring my progress…
Next week will officially begin my journaling task. I have still been paying attention to what I have been eating. I just haven’t put my focus on my food journal. I wanted to develop the walking and water habit first. The 24th will be 21 days of the new habit, time to add an additional new habit.
The little steps approach seems to be working better for me than all or nothing. In the beginning I tried to change all my habits at one time and that became very overwhelming. I couldn’t focus on anyone thing and ended up failing. Developing habits one at a time, where I can focus my all my attention on that one thing seems to be working better.
Good luck to all of you. I wish you well on your journeys and pray that you can find contentment along your way as well.

Little by little things will change and become easier for you. I think adding one thing at a time after mastering the other item is good. I understand the weighing in monthly. I should probably do that cause I get frustrated and scared to step on the thing. Not sure if it’s my friend or enemy. Hmmm? Anway, I should take your advice because lately I have been obsessed with the scale. But the walking and water is great for you. Keep up the good work!
Great job and good for you to be able to ignore that ole scale
And focusing on baby steps vs all or nothing is something I am learning too. Good luck on upping you miles…you can do it!
