Well at least I lost some weight this time, & I'm definitely motivated to stick to my healthy eating program. We hope to drive down to San Diego in SEPT to visit our middle DD & other friends & family from when we lived down there, & I want lose at least 8-10 more lbs by then. I plan to spend some time at the beach down there, & don't want to be mistaken for a whale, LOL! I got out in the yard a couple of times this last week, pulling weeds & keeping an eye on DH while he did the mowing. With his diabetes his sugars can drop quickly with exercise, & then he can't see, & feels very weak & like he's going to faint which has happened before. So I try not to let him be out there alone. The pool therapy at the YMCA is going very well. I'm walking about 1500 steps in the pool each time, plus doing my upper & lower body strength & flexibility exercise routine that I worked out with the Personal Trainer when I started there. By my calculations I burn about 750 calories in 45 minutes of water walking, given my weight, stride length, & slow pace. So I guess I'm doing pretty well. I figure I water walk about 3/4 of a mile, & for me to walk that far on land would be completely impossible! If anyone has more or better info on my water walking, I will appreciate your input. Hugs & Blessings, GLAMMER
