New day

It is a rainy day here in Gainesville. The rain is not a problem. I just walked through the rain and enjoyed it. Today, I am wearing a t-shirt I was wearing years ago when I took photos at home (at Lory Lane) and posted on the internet. I was a lot fatter then. Clothes like this remind me of my "mega" weight loss. I took some photos (screenshots) using Facetime. I was standing...

Physical activity

Today, I decided to blog/talk about my physical activity that contributed to my weight loss. During the past few months, I increased my physical activity. Sometimes I go to the gym (the convenient gym at my apartment community), sometimes I walk around my apartment community and sometimes I walk around Gainesville. Years ago, walking was difficult. I remember saying no to my coworkers who walked around DC daily (at lunchtime). Back then, when I walked a lot, my back hurt. I think the weight caused that. Now, I walk a lot with little problems. It is an accomplishment!

Here are some photos from a recent walk. I was on an overpass looking at traffic on the I-75.

Those photos of vehicles (on the I-75) reminded me of photos I took in Laurel, MD. I was out with my father.

I weighed in at a recent doctor's visit. So far, I have lost a total of 60 pounds.
I still have about 40-50 pounds to lose. In a next post, I will explain why I do not like to weigh myself very often.

I am moving to Florida very soon....in a few days. I am now reflecting on my weight loss journey and thinking about issues I may encounter in Florida. Would I need to change my diet?
Would I be extremely busy for a while which may lead to some over-eating and other issues?
I hope not. I did successfully stay away from certain foods during the past 6 months or so. But I do "indulge in" pizza and cake and ice cream every once in a while. It helps me feel less deprived.
I must continue to stay away from those fattening foods.
I must continue to eat: rotisserie chicken, salads, soups.
I must continue with my small portion sizes for other foods.
I must continue to drink lots of liquid, but the low calorie kind.
I must continue to stay active.
I must continue this diet.
