Weight Loss and Walking

Hi Guys,

Apologies for not posting yesterday. I had an appointment at the hospital that was supposed to take 2 hours but ended up taking all day!

I did weigh in before I before I went and I have finally lost the extra 4lbs I had put on at the 21st birthday party!

13 stone 8lbs. 1 more pound to go and I’ll have lost a pound (De ja vu or what?) Yay!

I have been walking this week in line with the WLR Walk the Weight Off Challenge. What has surprised me is the calories I can burn for an hour’s walking. I chose moderate walking for 60 minutes from the WLR Exercise Database and I can burn 320 calories. Pretty cool eh? And cheap. :o)

Have you guys joined in the challenge yet? It’s a good one to give your weight loss a boost or, if you feel you are struggling on your daily calorie quota, it adds a good amount to it for you.

I am changing the day that I post my blog to a Friday. I am due to go into hospital in a little over a week and will be in for a week so, there may be a blip there. But as soon as I can I will keep you all updated with my weigh ins.

I wonder how things will go with my weight while I’m in hospital and then at home recuperating. That’ll be interesting eh?

Anyway guys, I’ll catch you next week – and don’t forget it will be the Friday.

Take care all,

Trudi x
