Well, last week I did very well, I lost 3.5 lbs. So when I lose 16 pounds, I will weigh what I did in Brooklyn when I was doing Weight Watchers. The WW and walking did pretty well for me, but living in Brooklyn/NYC walking was so easy to do. I would take long walks around Manhattan on weekends and do yoga at OM. I really miss that about living in the suburbs.
Sure there are places to walk...but it's not the same as NY...there aren't interesting people to watch or cool stores to walk by. In the winter I would walk from Union Square down to Houston and down Elizabeth street to Cafe Habana for a small coffee. Then I would get on the train to my place near Coney Island. I love Cafe Habana.
Although I love my job here in the WMA...I so miss NYC in many many ways. I miss my walks and the sights and sounds of the city. I just haven't found a walk that I enjoy...I live near the W&OD but walking alone on that during the week seems a little iffy to me. I feel pretty sure that homeless people walk up and down the trail. There are places I've seen off the trail that look like places that have been inhabited by people. Or I could just be paranoid.
At any rate...I'm still losing weight and getting closer to moving into new weight categories that I haven't been in since the 90's. Kind of scary. Exciting...but scary
