"Everything old is new again" as the saying goes. I remember starting to increase my Step count and using Pokemon Go to keep boredom at bay. Searching for and capturing Pokemon and all the walking required to hatch eggs lessened the monotony of walking... and walking... and walking!
This weekend was Easter, which in my house means candy galore for the fam, and a mine field for me. I needed to get away and keep my mind occupied. Enter Pokemon Go and the multi-stage quest to find "the mythical Pokemon Mew." (I know, right? GEEK ALERT!)
For anyone not familiar with the game, it requires a LOT of walking -- both to specific locations and to accumulate mileage. I was on my feet almost the entire weekend, collapsing into bed at night only to rise, shower, and do it again.
I got my Mew -- and I lost weight! Not just water weight from limiting carbs or sweating it out, but actual fat loss from calories burned.
Yes!
I just have to keep after it -- I've got a lot to lose to catch up to my Transformer goals.
