25-Week Fitness Challenge: Week 21, Day 140

Today was a walking day for me, unintentionally. My kids each forgot something at home so I ended up walking to their 3 different schools at various times throughout the day. I walked to my oldest son's school twice. In all I walked 7.5 miles today including my walk to the library this afternoon. No Y for me tonight, I'm done.

I saw a news clip about a woman who has this weight loss program that's based on praying to God instead of overeating when you feel stressed, sad, upset, etc. She got slammed by Matt Lauer on the Today Show but I feel like, if it works for them, good for them. It seems much better than taking pills or surgery or other drastic means to lose weight. I can see why it would seem a little scary to some, though.
Weigh Down with Gwen Shamblin

This reminds me of a book that was out a few years ago by Nutritional psychologist Marc David: The Slow Down Diet: Eating for Pleasure, Energy, and Weight Loss

On another note I weighed in this morning at 155 again. Man! I was expecting a half pound loss but oh well. I'm going to really concentrate on my portion sizes this week as I have gotten really flexible on that again, LOL. My goal is to be at 153 by Saturday. I can do it!
