Starting Weight: #180.8
Current weight: #175.8

Exercise: walked/ran 3.0 miles today

Reason I love to run: the run started out overcast, but it totally burned off during my run. So uplifting to feel the sun on my face and the blue sky above in the spring. Then I ran into a few gnats and ate some protein... Ha ha ha!

Hello!

My DH has started walking with me some nights. Our spring family schedule is crazy, but we are managing 3-4 extra walks a week. Even if we are just strolling, it is very nice to be out moving and spending time together.

Weight: #168.0 (down 12.8 pounds so far)

Last night I jogged/walked for a half hour @ soccer and then walked about a half hour with DH. Also did 7 floors of steps at work yesterday.

Tuesday plans: 7 flight of stairs @ work. Walk with DH in eve. Throw out all remaining Easter sweets. Order DS to put all of his Easter candy in one basket and I need to stay out of it.

Goal: I would like to try to lose steadily and be at #160 by June 1. I have a 3 pronged plan to try to meet this goal: 1. Increase steps/walking @ work. 2. Increase veggies & non-meat meals. 3. Increase weekend exercise.

This is doable. I need to be kind to myself & think about wanting to wear a bikini this fall for sweet 16 vacation with DH.

NHLBI Website BMI Calculator

5 ft 4 inches
Starting #180.8 = 31.0 BMI = Obese

Today 168.0 = 28.8 = Overweight

Yay! I moved categories! Although my goal weight is still almost in the overweight category for BMI (24.9), I have a long way to go & I'll be pleased to manage that and maintain.
