WTG Kathryn!
Weigh in today revealed that I am up 0.2 lb. I'm trying not to get too discouraged about it. The loss is just going so slowly that any gain, no matter how small, is likely to make me feel discouraged. I used up all my weekly points last week - but not my exercise points. And I give myself fewer exercise points than the etools tell me I should b/c I think their point values for jogging are too high. Anyhow, I need to use my weekly points less. My next weigh in will be Wednesday since we're leaving Thursday to go camping in Canada with our small group. I'll need to be very careful packing food for that trip -- but I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm sure I'll be discussing that next week.
OTOH, I can tell I am stronger with more endurance when I need to go up stairs or walk uphill, etc. so the exercise is still doing me some good. That was kind of the main point after all. . .
I'm hoping to head out for a jog soon. I was going to go after a couple errands, but I might go beforehand due to the possibility of rain later. It is 79* out right now with real feel of 83*, and the temps are climbing until about 5 pm, another reason to go now. I would like to try a 3 mile jog sometime, but I'm not sure this afternoon is a good time. It may be too hot and steamy.
