Diet, t=0 or Stop, Diet Time

So, my weight has yet again crept higher than I would like. By which I mean higher enough than normal that I'm spurred into action. Which means that the diet is officially back on. It's been hard to get the momentum to do this lately, for a number of reasons, so we'll have to see how well it lasts.

My official starting weight is 223.4 and I'd like to get below 210. Well, I'd like to get below 200, but I'm not yet so delusional that I think I'll get there. I'm going to keep my running pretty much as it has been (spooling back up while trying to keep my legs in one piece) and with spring having sprung I'll be doing more yard work as well. Diet wise, I'll be doing Weight Watchers with two cheat days as per normal.

That is all.

Safe travels?

I'm not certain if I posted it in my journal or someone's comments, but last year, I took to the very enjoyable habit of getting on the "wrong" bus and having a nice walk of about a mile back to my place. This worked out really well until the day that a man got off the bus the same time I did, went ahead of me by a shortcut, and intercepted me by a field and a culvert, where he asked me the kinds of questions that led me to believe he was up to something bad: where did I live, was I married, was I in a hurry to go someplace, etc. All "will you be missed if I abduct you" stuff. Creepy! I was sufficiently spooked to stop walking from that bus route and took the regular one ever since.
I'd like to do the walking again. Are there ways I can make sure I'm safe? A creek flows under the street, so no matter which side I'm on there's a wooded culvert to be cautious around.
I love walking after work, and I just hope that was a random occurence. What do you think?
