The countdown is underway for me as I work towards my new major number goal of "600." If I make it, it will mean I have walked between 4-5 miles EVERY SINGLE DAY for 600 consecutive days. This is regardless of temperature (I always walk outside, and have had temperatures as low as -15 Degrees Fahrenheit (-26 Degrees Celsius) and as high as 101 Degrees Fahrenheit (38 Degrees Celsius)), regardless of weather (I have walked in blizzards, in pouring rain, in the blazing sun, and in extreme winds).

I am very happy I have kept up this effort. I have shed roughly 70 pounds (31.5 kilograms) from my body weight and I have maintained a normal BMI for the last year.

The exertion has helped me mentally and physically. It has helped me enjoy winters more, and has forced me to buy new clothes (the old clothes literally dripped off of me).

I hope that I continue to walk daily, and that I am able to continue in these very positive experiences. It is so odd, that something so VERY SIMPLE has changed me in so many ways that have helped me.

    It's amazing: both the walking and the weight. Great sticktoitiveness.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
