This topic is a bit different. It isn’t as much about my not fitting in. It is about the frustration of losing weight. I want to lose weight. I see these ads on how to walk and lose weight. I really doubt it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do know someone my age,61, who told me she started walking and lost weight. Okay I believe her. But here is the deal. I used to have a job where I walked all day. I did 30,000 or more steps a day. I also had to push heavy carts around. So it was good exercise. Several months ago I started walking one hour a day. Nothing happened. Then I got a bicycle and rode an hour a day. Nothing happened. I was hoeing my yard for 1 to 1.5 hours a day and nothing happened. I cut back on food intake and nothing happened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I recently started walking 10,000 steps a day and I ride my bike 4 days a week for an hour. That is a considerable amount of exercise. On top of that I do weight lifting at home and sit-ups and push-ups. I have not weighed myself for weeks. Why? Because I am afraid I have either not lost or worse gained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time will tell. But I have my doubts. Nothing in the past has worked. And really, the number of calories I burn in walking is so minimal, according to the app, that I can’t believe that it will work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do meditation some. And I tell myself to stop waiting for things to get better and also to lift the weight of the world off of me. When I get brave, I will check the scale. Hopefully, all of this walking will work. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
