It turns out that my walking and then running as far as possible, then walking and running again is called "interval training." he said that is much better for boosting metabolism than going flat out for a long period. It keeps your cardio going stronger and ramps up the metabolism.
I only know for sure that Tim's underpants fell down while he was working out, and now yesterday, my bra was so loose that it slipped up over my boobs while exercising. I have lost most of the pudginess under my arms and the bras are just too big now. YAY!!

Good show!
Well, I think that if you have diabetes; controlling your weight is the best gift you can give yourself.
A neighbour of ours, that has diabetes, lost weight and went from insulin-injections to tablets, just because he lost weight.
All my mothers sisters and she herself had diabetes in their 70-ups (6 of them that survived to that age). So it's a sure thing I'll get it eventually.
But if I keep my weight down till then; it might not be so bad with that diabetes, or perhaps I won't get it at all.
