Hard walk today in 90 degree temperatures, very humid. Next time I will do it at night. Felt great until the last lap which I felt sick during. Didn't change my time too much though.

[later, after refreshment]

I am feeling much better. Bootcamp is going great and my reward at the end will be new makeup. I don't wear makeup often, and everything I have is really old so I thought it would be nice to spruce things up. I am sure I will want to wear some on our vacation.

The only thing I haven't been able to do this bootcamp is limit myself to 1 sweet a day. I have had 2 each day so far. But veggies and eating in and water and exercise, everything else is top notch.

I "came clean" today with a girlfriend about my weight. My girlfriends are very supportive of me and always ask me how the healthy lifestyle is going, but I always say things like "I have lost 6 lbs this month and 30 lbs total" without giving the exact numbers. Today I finally spilled the beans and told her all my numbers in gory detail (including my weight history). It can't be too much of a surprise. You have to be pretty overweight to lose 35 lbs and still be considered obese (and have 20 lbs to go before you cross into "overweight").

I just read VJs update today about her marathon walk this weekend. What an inspiration!
