End of January 2016

January Summary

January can best be summarized as "steady as she goes" I guess. No real progress in wight loss. 

A bit annoyed as I've tried more morning exercise, less exercise. Watching the diet. So on the one hand I am very very happy that my weight is very stable. On the other, I would really like to get under 200 pounds by April 21st - the 4th year anniversary of my ketogenic/low carb diet. And it seems so close (actually it IS close). But unlike (and as expected) the less weight you have, the harder it is to lose. When I was 300 poinds, I was dropping 10 pounds in no time. Now 10 pounds takes significantly more effort.

January 2016 morning weigh in record

As is shown above, I started at 218 pounds (didn't track anything over the Christmas Holiday, but on Christmas morning I was 217.5 pounds). Tomorrow begins a new month. I am going to track more details in my diet - make an effort to record everything I eat. Also, Lent begins on February 10th, and it's an opportune time for me to perhaps take on a fast of some sort. Both for spiritual and health reasons. I'plan to schedule a physical tomorrow as well.

I am hoping I make better progress in February of 2016.
