I had a pretty good day today, though no swim. Ate pretty well, though I did go out for dinner. The salad with grilled chicken wasn’t too bad. Ok, it had some cheese and guacamole (which was all avocado so that should be reasonable). My step count was pretty low when I got home, not a lot of foot traffic at work today. I did make a few extra runs up and down the stairs. I made up for it on the mini-tramp earlier this evening.

I’ve decided to make Tuesday my check in day. I’m not really interested in tracking daily weight. Weekly is likely the bare minimum that makes sense.

I did update my profile with relevant statistics and measurements. I will probably keep that the same over time and track monthly or quarterly progress on another page or a blog entry. I will continue with this program and do a check in with my doctor in a month or two. Curious to see what real work will do to my blood work.

Education

I’ve found a bunch of good websites (Mayo Clinic quality) and have discovered a lot of good information. I need to capture it and think about it. More urgently, I need to keep reading “The Way to Eat” by David L. Katz. I’ll refer back to my initial post, I don’t want a diet that offers short term wins, I want to understand how all this stuff works and then have the ability to make great decisions all the time.

Progress: Page 0 (just re-read the Introduction). Needs work.
