Going the wrong way?

Good thing I started early...what is happening? Going the wrong way...seems like you watch what you eat, but what are you eating? Guess this stretch has not been working for me. Those few beers on the weekend just pack it on. Christmas and New Years has packed on solid. Time to change the trend the other way. Goal will be to attempt to break a sweat everyday. Need to keep walking at work at lunchtime. Hit goal for steps today, attempt to match the rest of the week.

1st back to Work in 2008

Back to work for the first day in 2008. Changes in life include my first pair of glasses. They help with the reading and allow me to work and read without eye strain. It will be hard to adjust as eyes have always been so good. I will blame on the weight...maybe as the weight drops my eyes will get better. ;-)

Activities include the purchase of a pedometer (my wife broke the old one and purchased a new one). Walk 7000 steps since installing at 5pm tonight. Spent 1 hour on treadmill to test out the pedometer.

Food intake: coffee, 90 cal bar; 100 cal cookies, split chicken Casar salad with Linda, soda
