It is a new year, and might as well start a brand new thread for renewed commitment to some health goals. Plus I had a pretty good weekend, so I at least have some positive things to post for myself, if I am being totally honest.
I started the new year being a slug and very inactive. But Saturday I played 9 holes of golf, and walked, which included helping my daughter as well. Even though it was only 9 holes, I ended up walking over 6 miles including some minor extra walking during the day. Most of it was playing golf, however.
Yesterday I played basketball for 2 hours, full court, and pick up another five miles. I wear my Fitbit when I play on the inside of my shorts and it works fine. Last night before my gym closed, my son asked me to take him there, so I ran another mile and a half on top of that.
Now, that doesn't make up for the less than 3000 step days I had most of the days leading up to that, but I thought I would lead with some positive information. That began the year at 233, and would like to finish 2016 no heavier than 200. A couple of years ago I got down to under 200 briefly, and then almost immediately started gradually gaining it back.
My key to the weight loss is both exercise and diet, neither of which I have been committed to as I should. It is very easy for me to exercise if I am playing a game, so my challenge will either be to finding a game to do regularly, or finding a way around that in order to get the necessary steps, walking, and basic exercise in.
