Part 6/8:
Completing my month-long routine, the end results were intriguing. Surprisingly, I hadn't lost weight—instead, I was up a couple of pounds. Yet, considering the voracious holiday eating I had indulged in, this wasn't as disheartening as it might sound. In hindsight, the consistent walking likely helped mitigate the potential weight gain, preventing me from packing on additional excess pounds.
Throughout the challenge, I realized that deliberation over the sheer amount of steps on a daily basis led to a change in mindset towards my lifestyle—for one, committing to consistent movement could be a viable component in any weight management routine.
