Volunteering helped with my weight loss yesterday

I went to do my volunteer work for the hospital yesterday. It is an off site location in which we serve low income families. They have various ways in which they can earn points. With these points, they can purchase various household items as well as strollers, walkers, and other baby items. It’s fun working with these young moms.

We were getting low on some supplies. After the office closed, I went shopping. I had three full carts the first trip. I had to take it all back to the office and unload, price, and put up everything. The second trip, I had four carts. I had to do the same with that stuff.

Needless to say, the three hours of volunteering turned into ten hours. Our office is open from 11 until 2. I didn’t have breakfast and of course, didn’t have lunch. I finally ate supper at 8:30 pm. I went to Wendy’s and had a small chili and a baked potato and a glass of water.

I know you aren’t suppose to go all day like that but I must say, I wasn’t hungry. I did drink plenty of water through out the day. When I’m busy, I forget about eating. I need to do more of this to keep my weight loss on a downward spiral. The other benefit, I slept like a log last night.

I got on the scale..I’m down 4 lbs since my last weigh in. YIPPEEEEE

    Yipppeeee on your loss Chris. That is fantastic. All that walking, and walking, and walking really is paying off.

    Keep going the way you are going. Keep that focus on your portions and your choices and next weigh in will have the same result.

    I’m proud of you :D

    Hope you have a wonderful weekend

    You made good choices and didn’t binge.

    PS it was so nice of you to do all those extra hours.

    I think its wonderful that you volunteer and are so determined to succeed with your weight.

    However, I believe that not eating for long hours makes you fat. If you eat breakfast/lunch you still have the whole day to burn off these calories. While if you wait till evening everything you eat (which can be more than usual if you didnt eat the entire day) would all turn into fat.

    This is just my observation.

    Keep up the good work and good Luck!
