18 months 155 pounds down

Jan 13, 2012

A year and a half. Still no problems at all and loving life. I just this week started back running. I've always been walking a lot and had been swimming, but now it's cool enough that I can run about 3.5 miles. I've run 6 days in a row at 5:00am. Love the early morning schedule.

I still love my fitbit and measuring all my steps. Last year I walked/jogged 2500 miles!1 And I swam 107 miles. Everyday adds up. Now I consistently get 20K steps per day or about 8 miles.

Rather frustratingly, I've been about the same weight since October. For one second I dipped down to 158 which was exciting as it was half my starting weight and I'm eager to get and stay in the 150s or even less, and of course I'm aware my window of opportunity is closing. I'm confident that with the good habits I've cultivated over the last 18 months, I'll get to those 150s and lower.

I'm starting to lurk on  the PS board. Don't know whether I'll do it or not, at any rate it's too soon to make those decisions.

I'm going to join the walking program at my work which will last for three months.

Lately I've been listening to Fat2Fitradio.com podcasts. the hosts are a little boring, and they don't like WLS, but they DO offer good advice for losing fat and keeping fat off - eat like the person eats who is the size you want to be. I'm not sure how WLS has screwed up our metabolism, but I'm working on increasing my resting metabolic rate by doing resistance training.
Does anyone else listen to that podcast?

I'm very pleased to feel comfortable with myself.  I wear size 10 pants, large or medium tops. I fit well in my active life. I'm happier, more optimistic.
