Losing weight after first week



Image by Gesina from Pixabay

So the good news is, as per my introduction, I am aiming to lose another 10 kilos. And I weighed myself after my first week of walking and I lost 400g. It may not seem a lot but for me that’s how I lost 14 kilos. A bit every week. 

I feel we get told to lose weight you have to lose a minimum of one kilo a week. Whereas, I found I lost 14 kilos by losing less than a kilo a week. It did take a year but there was less pressure on myself and my body. 

So count your small wins because they do add up to your big wins.

Break up your walking routine

Image
  Image by Sasin Tipchai from Pixabay So for me, I feel like I keep breaking my walking routines. I guess every day is filled with different aspects, which means I can’t always set a routine I just have to try and find time to walk and sometimes I just can’t walk that day due to other commitments.  However, I have worked out if I break up my walking into at least two segments, then if I can’t make one than at least I have done half the walking steps that I am wanting to do, rather than nothing at all.  What I haven’t decided yet is if I am going to wake up at 5:30am and lose thirty minutes of sleep and walk for thirty to sixty minutes pending on the commitments that day. Or wake up at 6am and start my day later with everything else. It’s a tricky one. But I need to choose and I need to do it every day so it becomes a routine.  A routine is what creates your goals being met.   I guess what I am trying to say, is flexibility is key. Maybe the routine is just...

Testing, testing day two

Image
Image by Susana Cipriano from Pixabay When you first set out to exercise day one is fully pumped, yet it’s what comes next which is most important.  Day two. I thought I would go for a walk for an hour and I assumed in that time I would walk 10,000 steps. Because yesterday I went for a longer walk and reached 10,000 steps…. Oooh, I just worked it out. This makes sense now. After my walk today, I got home, all proud of myself. I checked my step counter and I had done 6,000 steps. I was disappointed and I didn’t want to go back out for a second walk.  But as I said above, I just realised why an hour didn’t give me the result I was seeking. Because yesterday I went for an hour and twenty minute walk which gave me the 10,000 steps not an hour. Oh silly me. Oh well.  Anyway, what I wanted to say was, did I achieve my goal when I said I wanted to walk 10,000 steps a day and I only walked 6,000 steps?  The answer is yes. Here is why. Because today of all days, I tend to no...

Create your 2025 walking goals

Image
Image by kalhh from Pixabay   So the New Year has started and welcome to it.  To be honest, I had my goals preset just before the New Year and when the New Year hit, I didn’t start straight away like I was expecting to.  So what are my goals and how am I going to achieve them?  Basically, this year I want to lose my remaining weight of 10 kilos. (I did put on 4 kilos over Christmas so chuck on that extra weight and I have to lose 14 kilos).  I have literally lost an extra 14 kilos previously just by walking. I didn’t change my eating habits, I just walked. It took a year because I only walked 10,000 steps every fortnight so I was only losing weight every fortnight. Not weekly.  Again, I feel this is pretty good considering I didn’t focus on eating only carrot sticks to lose weight.  So however you plan it, just note it the time to lose the weight may take longer. So do not get discouraged. Because, for me, once the weight is off, I am culling my bigge...
