Beautiful. I'm more a cat person but I can see the appeal as devotion on tap as opposed to thinly veiled contempt has got to be better for the soul.

Amazing how I feel (felt) when I was in the 6s as opposed to the 5s. Huge difference but I reckon it might be mental knowing I've reached my goals. Just need them to stay there :)

So why do all the things I read say it should be a brisk walk? I do walk quite quickly, but am always having to stop for Lola (my dog).
I think the briskness is for the benefit of the heart and cholesterol perhaps? Although I don't check rigorously, I think I remember my level elevating after a 30 minute brisk walk. Not by much though and it declined fairly soon after. I'm no expert but perhaps the walk helps our averages, even though it causes a rise in the short term. In other words ... I don't know!! Anyway, your results show you are doing extremely well :)

Thank you. I think you are right about the briskness being more to do with heart and cholesterol things than lowering BS. Maybe I should do one slow walk and one brisk walk every day!
