Eight week weight loss status

I am down 18.2 pounds in 8 weeks!

It has been a while since my last blog.  I am still a DBA at SunTrust and still live in the same place.  Life is pretty much the same, except that I am working on getting healthier.

On Jan 2, 2012, we started what we call a Healthy Eating Program, HEP for short.  We are walking 4-5 days a week, at least 2 miles at a time, sometimes 3. We are also using a new cookbook called "The Comfort Food Diet" from Taste of Home.  We have cooked more meals from this book than all the other cookbooks we have ever had.  I must say, every single thing we have tried has been excellent!  Normally when we are trying to eat healthy, we get into a rut of eating the same thing over and over.  This makes the HEP not so enjoyable and down right boring.  I know that food is supposed to be just sustenance, but, as Southern people, we really see food as a pleasure, not just as fuel.
