In addition to my regular workouts I've been doing a lot of walking. On Sunday my wife and I hiked for about 7 miles. On days that I don't lift (and occasionally on some lifting days) I walk for 45 to 50 minutes, plus longer hikes on weekends. Over the last month my waist has gone from a bit over 37 inches to a tad under 36. I'd like to get it under 35. I've lost several pounds though my weight now seems to be holding steady at about 195-196. For the last several years I usually weighed around 205.
