Home Life Update

Same old same old. House is less clean than usual. . . gotta change that. . . I'm exercising more and eating less, which has helped me get closer to my weight goal. I'm using Fitbit.com to track my food intake. I tell them what (and how much) I ate and they tell me how many calories I've eaten and how many more I can eat if I want to lose X pounds by Y date.

It took me a while to learn how to tweak their "Activities" so that it gave me credit for the right amount of calories burned and not a ridiculously high number. I didn't lose much weight until I figured that out! Since then, I dropped 70% of the weight I've lost while using this website! As for how much weight to lose, I've tried two different (reasonably credible) web sites and my weight goal looks like it's exactly what it should be for a person of my height and body type. That is, until I build up some muscle, but that comes later. First, I get to a healthy weight. Then, I tone. If I gain some weight back, in the form of muscle, that's okay. I just want to get my risk of Diabetes lowered and, frankly, to look a little thinner, first.
