Massive non-scale victory

Ok my skin infection is getting much better, I took the last of the anti-biotics this morning and I'm feeling much more myself thank goodness and didn't even have a huge binge to try and cheer myself up, but that's not my non-scale victory. Yesterday my friend took me out to Rockridge and Berkley, she mentioned there would be a fair bit of walking which I was fine with, we wandered around shops we stopped to look in windows, so not exactly attacking the walk with a cracking pace more a leisurely stroll. We kept walking and walking, had some lunch, wandered through a wholefoods (wow), checked out her old apartment block and gradually my knees started hurting and by the end my ankles were really sore and I knew we'd walked more than 5kms, probably the most I've actually measured walking. When we got home my friend jumpd onto google maps and plotted our walk, at least 10kms, I have never asked 10kms in a day. I had to take some ibuprofen last night because my knees, feet and ankles were so sore and I'm really sore this morning but so happy that I was able to move my body that far even if it was over the course of a number of hours. I'm looking forward to heading home in a couple of days and hoping I can maintain this walking and healthy eating. I don't feel like I have missed out on eating anything while I've been here, I've tried everything I wanted to, I've eaten carbs every evening, I've had alcohol most evenings and I am leaving lighter and brighter than When I arrived. Everything in moderation right, I'm sure as I lose weight I'll need to alter what I'm doing, but basically if I can avoid bingeing and snacking through the evenings I should be ok for now.
