My Weight and I: Update #3

My weight loss hasn’t exactly gone the way I hoped over the last couple of months. However, this month I am feeling much better about things.
I’ve only lost a pound this month. This may not seem much, but I am feeling fitter and full of energy. That has to be a good sign, right?
Most of this is down to the fact that I have been doing a lot more walking. Down to the shops, around town, wherever I can really! It’s surprising to see the amount of calories you can burn, even with a short 15 minute walk.
I have also been utilising My Fitbit Blaze a bit more. It shows me how many calories I burn during the day, and I can also input the food and drink I’ve eaten on the online dashboard. This is great, as it tells you whether you have taken in too many or too few calories for your weight loss goals.
Also, you can swipe through the menus, pick specific types of exercise (such as running, cycling or weights), use the heart rate monitor and time how long you workout. This will then tell you how many calories you’ve burned during your workout. I’ve found this helpful in the gym as I can see when I am slacking and when I need to work harder.
Speaking of the gym, I’ve also started going to the gym more regularly again. I’m so glad to be back there. The first couple of workouts hurt a bit, but I have found my flow again.
I am also swimming a couple of times a week!
So, you can see, even though my weight loss is low this month, I have achieved a bit. I’m hoping that will lead to weight loss in the next couple of months.
You can buy the Fitbit Blaze and other Fitbit products on Amazon.
Take care everyone.

ALi, I’m glad you are being balanced about this. I remember when I lost my babyweight, I stayed the same for a couple of months, but I was exercising too and I think that it’s about more than just the scales but about how fit and healthy you feel! I admire your motivation! Keep it up! #Fortheloveofblog

My weight yo-yo’s so nowadays I try not to step on the scales. It’s better to go off how you look and feel I think. Thanks for sharing on #fortheloveofBLOG
