Here is the result of my first night trying the sleep function on fitbit.

No wonder I’m a little tired, need to get to bed earlier. Smart eating is tough. Trying to get some protein mixed in and sodium skyrockets. Not sure all the numbers for food nutrition are completely accurate, but they give a good estimate (checked a few other sites) and really open your eyes to the hidden junk.

This was a typical work day (didn’t get a morning swim – will save the stray dog story for another day and need to get some sleep so no walk either). 7200 steps seems pretty good for just “walking around”. I did make sure to take the stairs every time today. Got a friend who has has not ridden an elevator for 3 or 4 years – this is a good next practice.

My calorie count seems a bit low, but keep in mind some of those are estimates. In any event, I am working on portion control as well (um, except for the buffet the other day). I find my self hungry more times a day than I can recall experiencing in a long time. Also adding no eating after 8p. No need to make the body work harder instead of getting good sleep.

Daily Summary
Walk a lot (park far away at work) and always take the stairs
Portion control – stop eating when first sign of “full” hits
Eat breakfast and then snack on fruits and veggies during the day
  – I’ve got to make sure I understand sugar in fruits as well.  *sigh*
Don’t snack in the evening
Go to bed such that you get a good nights rest (7 hours minimum)
