I've been off the DIS for a few days... nope... didn't get a trip to see my hubby... I've been exercising!


I'm trying to figure out how to fit work, exercise, cooking healthy, and the DIS all in! Good thing I don't have kids or I would be a mess!
So my goal coming back from Colorado on June 15th was to lose 13lbs before my next visit on August 1. I had 6.5 weeks to do this. I didn't have much food in my place for when I first got back so my eating wasn't that great and no exercise.

Then I bought some groceries and have been sticking to a 1200 calorie diet for the last 12 days. Of those 12 days I have walked or hiked 8 of those days.
I started slow and walked 1.7 miles the first day, 2.2 the second, 2.7 the third, 3.7 the fourth, I was gradually increasing. My goal is to walk at least 4 miles a day. Well the 5th day I found a new place to take a walk... only thing was.... it wasn't so much a walk as a HIKE! I did 4.5 miles over 1.5hrs. I enjoyed it so much though I went back to the same place the following day and did 5.5miles in just a smidge under 2 hours... that sounds slow but I had elevation gain of 1239ft! I was quite a ways up and got some nice pictures with my phone from way up there! I posted them to facebook so if anyone is interested you can see them there! (If you want to be FB friends just send me a message!)
So... now you remember my goal of losing 13lbs in 6.6 weeks?!!? Guess how much I've lost??
Got a guess???
ZERO!!!
I don't understand! I am drinking lots of fluids so I'm not dehydrated. My diet is well balanced (lots of fruit and veggies, lean proteins).. I've done the 1200 calories before and my body didn't hold onto the weight so I just don't know what is going on....
So anyways.... It's related to Disney in that I want desperately to lose weight before the trip. My original goal was 40lbs lost by Disney. I guess I need to figure out what I need to change if I even want to lose half that!
Alright... now to go catch up on everyone else's reports... I've missed checking in on the DIS but I so want to lose this weight that I don't have much time (or energy!!) left after my long walks and... So... if you see me hanging around a lot?!?! Tell me to go walk please!
