Working on 24.9 BMI [View all]

I was 6 lbs over before COVID and got up to 21 over my health number. Now 13 lbs over.
Last year the indoor track I was using closed down, so winter was hard. I have a track in my back yard, but was only jogging 2 or 3 days a week when my track was snow and ice free. The last few days I’ve been jogging a 5K in the morning and another 5 K brisk walk in the evening. This seems to be the ticket. 71 years old and want to keep it reasonable.
My goal is now a combined 10 Ks 5 times a week. Doing better with the healthy diet. Diet is easier with the work outs. Want to hit that 24.9 or lower BMI.
Flexible goals.
