I was motivated to walk today, especially after my trip down memory lane, remembering that daily long walks was a huge part in my weight loss. The step counter will be a big help with this. Before I would walk different streets and routes in my neighborhood in search of easier hills. Then I would go in my car and see how far all my routes were. So I knew what a 2 mile walk was, or 3 or 5 or 7. Today I decided to walk the hill that isn't so hard for me right now and then all the way to the end to the street (about 1 1/2 miles from my house). It's an impossilbe hill from the bottom to come back up. So I turned right and walked a bit until I reached a circle on the left and all the houses on the street are on the lake. I wonder if Bobby remembers that walk. When he was about a year old we did it probably 150 times. Then I had to figure out a way home. I knew all the streets I could take. Started up one and had to stop to catch my breath it was so steep. But then it leveled out and the walk was not bad the rest of the way home. Got home and the walk was about 11,600 steps! Took just over an hour and a half.

I was able to look up my food journals from September 2017 through March 2018 when the weight loss stopped. I wasn't eating much but tried to reach 40 grams of protein every day. The monthly average daily calories ranged from 752 (in January) to 842 (February). I remember thinking that portion control was great because I could have what I wanted, but 1/4 pork chop didn't have much protein. I looked up the Thanksgiving dinner I had at my nieces house and the dinner was 348 calories (estimated) with 2 tablespoons of just about everything and 1/4 cup of the green bean casserole and even 4.5 ounces of red wine. The total for the day was 1089 calories because I did cave in on some of the appetizers.

I try to keep my calories around 1100 or less. I am often way under because I just don't feel like cooking. I am trying to increase my protein, hopefully in a low calorie way. New goal 60 to 75 grams of protein. I cooked 2 hamburgers on the George Foreman grill yesterday. They weighed 6 ounces. The ground beef is from Costco 88% lean. I had one patty yesterday to get in enough protein. 6 ounces is really too much for me. I had half of the other patty this morning on 1/4 bagel. The neighborhood lady who did the Costco run called me and asked if I wanted raspberries. They had a good sale - $2.19 for Driscolls 12 ounce. Those are $7-$9 at my grocery store. I had her get me 2 packs. I don't know if they freeze well so I'll have to eat them fast.

Hope to stay motivated - I didn't ask for a apple pie from Costco! Love them.

I still can't believe my walk was over 11k steps. I also am getting some memories from my days of hiking and long walks that I'm usually done for the day afterwards.
