Day 15

At some point, I am going to stop counting days.
Today is not the day to stop counting days.
Monday was the fifteenth consecutive days that my calorie count was in the neighborhood of 1000.
This is stupefying to me....
Just three weeks ago, I stopped at a White Castle and ordered 10 cheeseburgers. And it was't the first time.
How could the same guy who could have 10 White Castle cheeseburgers be the same guy who could keep up a streak of 1000 calories per day?
Here's the answer: I don't know.

My first weekly summary from my new Fitbit Versa only included one day as the purchase was made Sunday afternoon

.

My first complete week with my new Fitbit Versa

.

Yep, I ordered 10 of these, just a few weeks ago... and that was only dinner. Odds are that I had a similarly healthy meal for breakfast and lunch. It kind of takes the mystery out of trying to explain why I had been rapidly gaining weight recently.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

I don't think I did a great job in calorie control during my weekend in Houston for International QuiltMarket. I am resigned to the fact that my weight loss streak may reverse itself for a week. I am also going to make sure that I get back on program and start racking up some successful weeks again. So not matter, how badly my scale might annoy me this Saturday, I am getting back to on track starting today. Happy Halloween.

NEEDING A NEW HOBBY

For well over one year, my 'new' hobby has been exercising. Recently sidelined, with a hernia which I am told will not heal by itself, but will become far less painful within a week or two, I have rediscovered my old hobby. Eating.

My doctor said that once the pain dissipates, even before I elect to to fix the hernia, that I should be able to walk fast as before. Heavy lifting would be forbidden, but that was not part of my exercise regiment anyway. Right now I hope that my doctor is correct in his assessment that the discomfort will go away. During large parts of the day, I feel no discomfort, but there are also times when I am very much reminded that everything is not as it should be.

There's no getting around this - this is a bummer.

After spending so many consecutive weeks being so active and taking such great joy in counting my steps - I can now take equal and opposite sadness in realizing just how inactive I have been the past couple of weeks. I still keep my fitbit on each day, out of habit. Although it is certainly a pointless thing to do.
