Debbie Cousins's Journal, 10 May 2024

I’ve been walking 6 miles a day for the past 3 days. Drank 4 bottles of water yesterday and 6 on each of the two days before that. Dropped about a pound this morning. Calories per day so far for this week is under 1,700. I’m starting to remember how to do it. I had been off the wagon so long that I had forgotten how to lose weight. There is a program that has proven to work for me: journaling (ALWAYS for over 5 years), keeping calories under 1,800 a day, walking 6 miles a day (about 700 calories burned), drinking water (6 bottles a day is a great day for me), reducing diet soda, listening to motivational audio recordings when I walk, keeping up on my Bible reading, saying my weight-loss affirmations daily. My intent is to be totally off diet soda sometime in June of this year.
