Vital measurements taken every Tuesday plus miles walked the previous week.

I want to be in shape for my up coming trip to England and France. I do not want to miss anything because of not being in condition to walk. I am on a diet (small portions) and have started an exercise walking program. As a goad to my determination I am going to post data on my progress each week. Last year I posted everyday for several months. But that was too much. This year I am going to post weekly as of Tuesday. The table below is for every Tuesday this year. The columns from the left are; Date, Weight in pounds, Waist measurement in inches, Temperature in degrees F, Blood pressure high, Blood pressure low, Pulse in beats per minute, and Miles that I walked in the previous week.

I am doing pretty good and feeling good. My walking has increased from about a mile a day to about 1 and a 1/2 miles per day, except for the middle of February when I was fighting a persistent cough and feeling punk.  I am proud of my weight loss and I think that I have lost an inch around my waist. Where did it go?

I want to get my walking up to two miles a day and hope to lose another ten pounds before the trip day of May 15.
