Well, I lost 7.5 pounds in May, doing what I should have been doing long ago! I always kick myself after starting, eating healthy a week or two, then falling off. I realize 2 months later that had I just stuck with it, I'd have lost maybe 10 lbs. by now! Depressing. At least now, I stuck through it longer than I have in a long while. I'm proud of myself.

Last week I finally found the courage to cross the street and go for a walk. I know, sounds rather silly, doesn't it? Well, I have a 7 month old son and it's a fairly busy rural highway. I found if I go between 8:30am-9:30am, the traffic is rather light and crossing is not a problem. I don't live in a walker friendly area! No sidewalks out of my road, no walking paths unless I drive to them, defeating the convenience I desire. Anyhow, it's only a 20 minute walk, but worth every minute. I have to go up 3 hills and down 3 hills throughout the walk. It's so funny how once you start going uphill or even down, how you can feel your body change gears. It's a pretty good walk for only being 20 minutes. Not to mention, I'm pushing a stroller and whole time!

I am currently following the Weight Watchers plan, but not attending meetings. I once did so I have the points counters at hand. I happen to like that I can eat what I want, but I have to account for it. So far since I've done it for the month, I haven't resorted to eating anything I shouldn't (other than my off day) and trying to account for it. Ex. a slice of pizza and taking up 7-8 points. No thanks! I'd rather have a nice big healthy meal for 7-8 points!

Here's to June's weight loss! Follow me on my journey! :)
