So here I am again 🙂 China, needing to lose weight, needing to exercise more. I’ve gained back 40 pounds of the 111 that I lost, IN 10 months! Many things contributed to this, but the bottom line is I lost my discipline and accountability. I continued to eat well this past year, but it’s so easy to eat out. A fractured foot on Labor Day also added some down time and on and on.
So I figure I’ll start over where it all began! A challenge by Tatjana over at No Heels Just Sneakers started June 1, as well.
I have no idea what I weigh. No scale here. I do know what I weighed when I left home 2 weeks ago and feel like I’ve lost weight already, which is awesome! Lots of walking here in China. I will see if I can pop into a clinic and get a weight. But I’m back on Dukan, I’m doing 5 days of attack, and I’m committed to walking a minimum of 1 mile a day.
Yesterday morning before my first walk of the day, holding my bib. I had it laminated so it would last:
And this is what I walked/ran (intervals of 60/30):
Food:
Breakfast: Tea Eggs x 2
Lunch: Pork and garlic stems
Dinner: Beef stir fry with red onion chunks and garlic stems
Snack: Yogurt with 1 Tbs flax seed meal
Water: 1500 mL throughout the day
So that’s Day 1. Feeling great. Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!
Ciao!

Well done for picking it back up agian! I haven’t visited planet blog in forever and I love reading what everyone’s been up to. And 40lb is most certainly no match for you, it’ll be gone before you know it!
Lots of luck and cheering on from me! Love, Janie B
Hi Janie B!! I’ve been reading blogs but not posting much. It’s good to be back and good to hear from you ❤
So good to see your post, Sandi! I’ve changed jobs and haven’t had time to read or write posts….and I’ve gained a good portion of the 40lbs I had lost. You’re inspiring me to try again. Its so hard to restart! You’ve got another cheerleader here for you, my dear! Much luck and best wishes, Sarah
