This month has truly been an experience to remember. I have made and kept goals that I have not been able to do in a long time. In the first month of the program I lost 12.5 pounds, which is way more than expected. I don't really feel it yet and have not really noticed it, but I know that it will eventually begin to show more. I am a big girl so it might take awhile to show.
This past week has been a week of reflection and thinking about what I would really love to do. I keep hearing commercials for the Avon Breast Cancer Walk in Santa Barbara on the radio and it definitely feels like a subliminal message has been implanted in my head. Being a breast cancer survivor, I have thought about wanting to do this 39 mile walk for years, but have thought that I was physically unable to do so. Things have drastically changed since then. I see my self as capable, but still worry about my knee and back. Before I officially sign up to walk this year in September, I plan an visiting my doctor and physical therapist to make sure that it will be safe for me to train for a walk of this caliber. I'm excited about the possibility. I can easily see myself quickly shedding even more pounds if I'm doing several 5-15 mile walks a week (per the training schedule they suggest).
Be hopeful with me. I will know more by this time next week. Until then, I stay on program, continue walking, and be positive.
Next weight loss goal: get under 300 pounds (I'm just 2 pounds shy of this).
