More than my shoes crapped out

This last week was not what I had hoped it to be.

My shoes crapped out. I don't know why, but the cusion in my right walking shoe is totally gone and I eneded up over doing my walk on Thursday. I have not walked since then as my knee and right calf muscle were trobbing in pain. I also bought a new pair of shoes, specifically designed for walking. They should be here today. I love Zappos!

I also re-calculated my WW points. I have been going off the assumption that I am a sedintary person. Well I'm not. Since I walk most days and keep busy around my house I am an active person and need more food. I gave myself just 2 more points this last week and I've felt tremendoucly better.

I need to refocus and really get back on the ball with WW. I want to be at my goal weight by the end of the summer--for my reasons which I won't state right now. Some days I feel that this is harder than anything else I've ever done. I feel very overwhelemed that I seem to be able to slip so easily back into my old habits. I realize that lifestyle change is a life long commitment, but it sure is hard when everything around you is pulling you down the easy road of packaged foods and convienence.

With that said, I'm starting week 18. I hope to ease back into walking, start the next phase of my strength training and really focus on my snacking, by making healthy choices and not letting myself get so hungry I reach for the first thing I can find.
