Back on Track

I tell you what, if I haven't lost weight this week then I don't know what else to do. I was going back through all the stats I have on the fitbit app and this week is already looking better than any previous week this year. I've never had three days in a row of over 16K steps. I've also never had three days in a row of burnt calories over 4.6K. The best I've done is have three days in the week for calories and maybe two days for steps.
I'm definitely finding it easier to get out walking each day, even if I've had a big day at work, I still head out. I'm also trying to make sure that I push myself a little when I'm walking and not just taking a leisurely stroll. The only time that I wouldn't go for a walk after work now is if it is raining or if I'd already done 10K steps AND burnt over 4.6K calories. I'm not sure how I'm going to go on the weekend but I still want to head out for a walk both days at the very least. Maybe I can go for a swim whilst the kids have their swimming lessons.
Whilst at work I've been making an effort to try and do more each day and spend less time at my desk. Yesterday I had 10K steps up just after lunch and instead of getting a trolley to put some things on, I did multiple trips carry the things just so I could get in more exercise. 
My son is still enjoying raiding his bike when I go for my walks and it makes me feel good that he looks forward to coming out with me and that I'm taking the time to be with him. When I was a kid I used to ride my bike all over the place and by my son's age I would have been riding around my immediate neighbourhood by myself or with my brother or friends. I really feel like my kids miss out on some of the great things due to there being so many weirdos out there that they can't just head down to the local park by themselves and be safe. I'm looking forward to getting on a bike myself and taking my son for a ride around the lake.
Losing weight by exercise alone and not really changing your diet too much is hard work, but I think that this is a better way of doing it as I can always cut back on some of the exercise when I reach a weight that I'm happy with but who knows, I may have developed such a habit by then I'll need to start eating more! yeah right.

Bomber
got my mojo back baby yeah
