The road back to a lower BMI always includes peaks and valleys...

This is week two of being on the road to being healthier-- Good news and not-so-good news-- Good: The weighing/BMI scale is awesome, and I was able to squeeze in two 1-hr sessions last week for cycling on the trainer. Not-so-good: There's enough Holiday leftovers to feed the People's Republic of China :-/ We may need to rethink the food stockpile strategy for being World-War III ready.

Hello BMI Peak. Let's start the descent to a lower value, any time now ;)

Tomorrow begins the start of a healthier diet and exercise reigmen. Ugh.

It's been awhile since I was able to consistently exercise and eat right-- Vacation, Overloaded work schedules, and have knocked me off course from my path to healthy living. The result? A weight of ~230 and BMI of 33. Ouch. Reality Hurts. And it is also motivating. Enough to start the same thing I did the beginning of 2010, just a couple weeks earlier :)

This year was the year of Travel and food: Philippines, Europe, China, Hong Kong, Macau. Next year will be the year of savings and internal refinement starting right now. Let's do this how I know best, Geek-style.

A weight management scale that can track daily weight readings and BMI is on its way to the house. I'm already armed with the gadgets needed to view my progress on an excel spreadsheet or through pie charts and bar graphs. Channel that with the motivation to do the unthinkable-- Get back healthy again. I did it once and I can do it again :)
