Week 3(ish)

I look different. It's weird to think about. I've lost 3 inches on my stomach about an inch a week and I'm starting to notice it in my face. I've lost 15 pounds too, 4 then 7 then 4 again this week. It's the least I've weighed in 10 years.

According to my numbers, I should be losing 1.5 lbs a week. That doesn't include the 10km (6ish miles) I walk per day (split into 2, 50m minute walks) and usually I'm too full by the end of the day to eat my remaining 100-200 calories.

There were days I didn't think I could bare the pain of walking, my lower legs felt like they were being stabbed for the first 2 weeks or so. I'm not sure when that stopped, somewhere between last week and this but my legs just tire instead of actually hurting. I'm actually enjoying my daily walks and my kids love getting pushed in the stroller for the ride.

I know my weight issue came from snacking every two minutes throughout the day and also, being the dad in the family, finishing everyone's scraps after meals even after being over-full.

Lots of people suggested drinking water, something I always hated doing, opting for diet pop instead and hardly any drinking at all really. Since starting drinking water throughout the day, my desire to snack has dropped entirely. For meals, I sit down with a glass and make sure to drink thought-out rather than filling up on food, then drinking a bit after I'm stuffed. This has helped in 2 ways I think. First, I don't over-eat but secondly it slows my habit of stuffing my face as fast as possible giving my body time to tell me I'm full.

I really feel I'm starting to form good eating and excercising habits. Habits I look forward too instead of looking at as a challenge. I'll feeling a lot better and that's helping me stay motivated as well. I'm halfway to my goal and even though I know I won't have as much weight loss each week as I get closer to it, I have high hopes that my habits will keep the weight off once I reach my goal.

anyways, happy losing everyone 👍
