So today was not really a good day for better results after stepping on my body scale. I weighed in a 239.1 pounds and that's only about .03 pounds less than yesterday. I have mentioned in previous posts that the body can be very unpredictable when it comes to losing weight, and I strongly believe this is the case here.
I did say before I would take a photo of myself after reaching 240 pounds and above you can see that, but to me, I don't feel a whole lot better but I did actually feel like I made a decent amount of progress. So I did actually go on a long walk today and it was probably the hottest I've seen it for a few days at around 30 degrees Celcius outside.
I walked for 2 hours and 36 minutes according to my watch but, I did not start the timer until about 10-15 minutes after I first started walking so I think the amount of time I walked was closer to 3 hours long. The distance was 10.34 kilometers and I burned 1378 calories. My heart rate was average 127 BPM per hour. The temperature outside according to my watch was around 28 degrees but honestly it felt hotter.
I did stay hydrated by drinking lots of water, but there was no escaping the sun. I think I should of wore a hat from the very beginning, as my face is quite red. I will start doing that tomorrow and I may use sunscreen too. It is supposed to rain pretty soon too so I may not need the hat but I'll bring it with me just in case in a couple days going forward.
I meant to also mention that the photo comparison of how my chest looks in the picture above doesn't look dramatically different in the before and after, I mean it's only a 10 pound difference there but it's definitely better than nothing. I was stuck in the 250 pound range for awhile because of a medication I was taking, but since I stopped taking it my results are getting better and better.
I know some people out there really like to push themselves as hard as possible and walk even further than I do every single day but I personally know that if I go beyond or past 3 hours of walking a day I could start getting blisters on my feet and that's not a good thing at all.
I think it's safe to say that I have almost reached the weight I was at before my weight spiked over 100 pounds in 2017 because of a medication and as long as I am able to get outside and keep walking and also maintain the OMAD diet as well, I am going to keep going.
What I ate today was two burgers that equalled about 1000 calories and I mostly just drank Zevia and Water and had a Buffalo Chicken frozen meal from the grocery store which I think was around 400-450 calories. So 1450 calories for today is in the right ball park range for someone like me according to some research I did and I may try to confirm this with my family doctor too.
I also read online that drinking Zevia or Water doesn't make a difference as they both have zero calories. Of course, my personal belief is that water would be the healthiest and would be a lot cheaper than buying and drinking Zevia on a daily basis.
