RESTART DAY 1

Wow, it has been a full year since the last time I checked in. Of course, I fell off of the wagon and did much worse damage to myself than if I would have just stayed the course. IMPATIENCE. I tried the Keto Diet.. and was mildly successful for a couple months before a Disney vacation. Then, gained ...

Borderline success - I popped a couple of chips while dinner was cooking.

Haha - that's funny about the walking taco. I was skimming through some daily updates on here yesterday and saw all kinds of food I didn't recognize. Pretty crazy how differently regions eat.

I'm still trying to keep up with my after-lunch walks, as it really isn't all that enjoyable to walk on the treadmill like a hamster for 40 minutes, even with the TV. Much better to spread the steps over the course of the day. It was about 55F today and made for a ...
