Day 100 For Me

Yesterday was my 100th day of walking! Today I began my next set of 100 (hopefully). I am trying to keep both reachable goals and longer range goals in my walking. My next major celebration will be on Day 125 (if I am fortunate enough to make it), then 150, 175, and of course 200 will be another big celebration. My far in the distance, long range goal is to reach 365!

I have been asked by many how this walking has affected me weight wise. When I started this journey, I did so roughly a week or so after also starting a plan to eat more healthy (by decreasing snacking, and by reducing fats). Both combined (the walking and the minor food changes) have resulted in an 18% body mass reduction. According to the Body Mass Index Scales, I am now only 5 lb (2.27 kg) away from a NORMAL BMI! I am hoping to lose between 10 - 15 more pounds (4.5 - 7.0 kg) to be well within the NORMAL BMI range and allow myself a bit of "slack" for the normal variations in weight that occur in a day.

To have a NORMAL BMI is a very big goal for me to have and maintain.
