I have not made a whole lot of progress on my diet over the last two months. On the other hand, I went on a week of vacation and had a couple of big events that were not so diet friendly and I still managed to not gain any weight. Right now, I am within 1/10th of a pound of my record low (for the diet–not for my life) back on March 30. I am down almost 45 pounds from where I started and figure I am well positioned now to make a push to get down another 15-20 pounds. After that, I will figure out whether I want to stay where I am or go a little lower. One thing is certain: I have done this in completely sedentary mode and I need to break that habit. There are work changes coming so I will try to use those to my advantage to add some exercise.
The numbers in the image at the top left of the post are the lifetime counts for the stuff I track on my fitbits. I have had and used a fitbit since Christmas of 2014, but it has been off and on. I figure my actual usage has been for about a year and a half of those three and a half years. The numbers look pretty big, but they should be a lot bigger and more consistent. The number of steps the fitbit counted is probably pretty accurate and I am just astounded that God designed such a machine that runs on its own for eighty years and what calculates out to well over 100,000,000 steps over a lifetime.
