Hump Day Wild Card — 4/25/07

Rocket's Brain Trust asked for an occasional update on my walking/diet route. So here goes. Last night, I walked Mile No. 1000 since New Yeark 2006. I've dropped 22 pounds since I began, from 250 to 228. I've never gained back more than 2 pounds during that time (measured in two-week segments). I've taken 3 or 4 inches off my waist. I'm reluctant to go back to lifting weights b/c I always gain a bunch of weight when I do. Mebbe light weights this time. I'd like to continue to take off a pound a month until I hit around 210. I like that weight, especially if the waist size is decent. Thanks for asking. Now, for your Wild Card ...
