I’m now down over 40 lbs since starting my Sureslim program, even though I haven’t been really ‘on program’ for over 2 months — I’ve been in ‘maintenance mode’ lately. When I started this program, I had hoped to start running again at some point. That point is now here.

I’ve been getting out for a serious walk several times a week since starting the program. Today, I ran on my treadmill for the first run in about 5 years. I ran for 20 minutes, plus a 2 minute warm up and a 2 minute cool down, covering 3.3 km and supposed expending about 346 calories. It’s nowhere near the 50 to 60 miles (80 to 100 km) per week that I ran about 10 years ago, but it’s a start. W00t!

As well, I’ve gotten back “on the wagon” again — I’ve restarted my Sureslim ‘Quick loss’ program. I’d like to reach my goal weight of 160 lbs by the middle of August — I need to lose another 25 lbs between now and then.
