We have walked a billion miles over the last week and it has paid off!!! I had my first really big weight loss in a long time. The food has been really good and I’ve been eating more than I usually eat, but the miles and miles of walking each day has definitely helped balance out the eating. I know in my head that the amount of exercise I do (even if it’s just walking) plays a direct role in my weight loss, but it’s weeks like this that it becomes a whole lot more obvious.
I lost 4.2 pounds this week. This is the lowest I’ve weighed in over 5 years. It also bumped me over 40 pounds of weight loss since I started my journey in December and over 50 pounds lost since my highest weight!
Last Week’s Weight: 228.8
Today’s Weight: 224.6
Weight Lost This Week: 4.2
Total Weight Loss: 43.1
I heard from many of you that you enjoyed the photos of Israel, so I thought I’d share a few with you this week. Also, I mentioned last week that it was freezing and I didn’t have warm clothes. The next day, we visited Magdala where I was able to get a fleece zip up jacket that I wore multiple days in a row. It’s quite cute too, so that was a bonus.
Here are a few pics…
This is me on the border of Syria. This was taken less than 18 hours before the US bombed Damascus. 
This is a pic of my family on the border of Israel and Syria. We took a Land Rover tour with some Israel Special Forces guys. It was really cool!
This is the sun rising over the Dead Sea. I took this picture from our hotel room balcony! The view was absolutely breathtaking!
We start flying home tomorrow. I’m sad that this trip is coming to an end. It’s been life-changing!
