Hi Angel
Walking is excellent exercise.
It was not a zero exercise day if you did extra walking.
I have lost a considerable amount of weight using walking as my only or main form of exercise. It is excellent at burning
fat.
We all have days when we are less controlled with our food - but we should never feel bad about it. We should just try to eat as healthily as we can.
Do not consider the project as a failure if you do not lose 3
pounds. That is actually a lot of weight to expect to lose in a week. They say that a good healthy rate of
weight loss is between one and a half and two
pounds in a week. If you look back over the October and November 2
pound a week challenge threads you will see that although I lost weight at a pretty good rate (and I consistently worked very hard to do so) there were weeks when I did not lose 2
pounds.
I know for a fact (because I worked it out at the end of the month) that I walked an average of 10.75 miles every day of November. At the end of that 30 day month I lost 9.4
pounds in total which is just over 2
pounds a week.
I would like to see you losing 3
pounds across the week and it is possible, but you should manage your expectations so that you are rightly pleased with any loss that is achieved and consistently held off.
Good luck at the scales.
Take care
Love
Margaret
