Pomegranates are in season and they are once again in abundance at most grocery stores. I had a tough time finding them last spring, but it's nice to see them in so many stores again.
I've written about pomegranates before. I thought they were worth mentioning again as this fruit really is a super food.
A brief update: I weighed in this past Tuesday at 245.5 lbs. That is another 2.5 lbs dropped since last week!
Wow. That's all I have to say. Look at this before picture! I can't believe I was this heavy less than two years ago.
When I look at this picture, it makes me wonder what's going through my mind. This was taken in a restaurant, although I can't make out which one. I can only imagine the kind of food I ordered then.
I had my 4th week weigh-in and lost an additional 2 lbs. So currently I am down 16 lbs overall since the beginning of the challenge.
My weight came in at 248.0 Technically I think I am a bit lighter than that but I had a big lunch before weigh-in this past Tuesday. Either way I am progressing as planned and still losing. I find my pants are starting to fit loser as well as some shirts that were tight now fit well. I wish I could fast forward 3 months from now as I am still tired of looking in the mirror and seeing that gut of mine. All in good time however.
The United Healthcare Walk-A-Thon began four weeks ago. So far, I have walked nearly 400,000 steps in four weeks. Last year, I had over a million steps, but this was for a ten week challenge. The challenge I'm currently in is for eight weeks.
I figure my steps are now at approximately 5,720,000 since April of 2012, during the first challenge I was in at the YMCA. As many of you know, I only missed one day of 10,000 steps, when I was too sick one day. That means I've walked almost every day, a minimum of 10,000 steps, for about 18 months.
