going strong

Doesn't look like George and I will get in our usual after-dinner walk tonight: it's been storming on and off for the past few hours, and it's supposed to continue storming through the night. Thankfully a coworker and I walked 30 minutes during our lunch hour while the sun peeked out, so I don't have to feel too guilty.

I think I can contribute part of my recent 7-lb. weight loss to walking for 30 minutes twice a day (weather allowing) the past few weeks. Along with a slight revision in my diet, that extra half an hour of exercise seems like it made a difference. So far I've lost 17 lb. since February 2003 (7 lb. of which I lost in the past 6 weeks) and my BMI has dropped from 28.2 to 25.6 (18.5-24.9 is considered normal). I only need to lose 5 more pounds to reach my healthy goal weight. How exciting to get to this point at last! :)
