“Banana and tin of sardines packed in olive oil...”

Ya lost me right there. Isn’t that the famous sandwich Elvis liked to eat? LOL!

Just kidding. Great about your weight loss. Husband just gave me a pedometer; I work on my feet all day in a huge warehouse-like building and we both want to see how far over those 10K steps I go in a day.

We eat pretty well, but I confess that there is a frozen pizza on the menu once in a while.

I’m certainly not as buff as when I was in the Army, but I’ve stayed the same size for about 10 years now. I’m sure Mother Nature has something worse ahead for me...everyone else in my family is overweight, though my sister is doing a good job of losing her weight as she’s borderline diabetic when she’s too heavy.

She’s gotten a lot better about eating healthy. :)

Let me know how many steps you get in that warehouse each day. I have an office job so it's a chore to get that 10,000. In fact, I've recently been trying to get it to 20,000 steps a day and in order to do that, I must walk at least three solid hours a day. I've been doing a 3-mile walk with the dog in the early morning, a 4-mile walk at lunchtime and another 3-mile walk with the dog back home after dinner.

The average person uses 2,030 steps per mile (based on 2.6 foot stride) so if you walk at least 10,000 steps a day, that comes to just about 5 miles.

I've been thinking of switching careers to one which requires me to be on my feet most of the day. Even though my desk job pays very well, I would definitely consider taking a cut in pay to be a park ranger or a floor supervisor in a gigantic warehouse.
