Much time has passed and it's time to check in.
I'm happy to say that I'm still walking the walk even though I'm not talking the talk very often any more. Healthy food and consistent exercise has been my friend and I'm holding steady. Every now and again I struggle with 5 pounds or so, but I've been pretty good about keeping it in check and am still at my goal weight. We recently moved to Florida (moving to Florida in July must be the equivalent of moving to Wisconsin in January) and it's been HOT and HUMID so overeating does not appeal in the least. I just wish that when I went outside and came in drenched with sweat that it would produce a huge loss on the scale... but alas it's just like living up north in that respect. The key is slow, healthy weight loss brought on by consistent healthy eating and moving more. I know that. It's a constant.
I'm still running. No marathons this year which is a good thing. Running in Florida has been an adjustment. It's like running underwater in the sense that if feels like every breath is full of moisture and lacking in oxygen. I've been running 2, 3, 5 miles and I'm getting used to it though and it's feeling easier. I'm planning on a half marathon in November, but it will definitely take some training in this locale to be ready for that distance here.
Guess that's the update for today. I'm blogging at www.burstingwithjoy.blogspot.com and www.burstingwithjoybiblestudy.blogspot in case you want to check it out.
Bacher out.
