It looks like I weigh 176 today. I will walk my four miles later this morning or early afternoon. I will start out with French toast this morning, tuna fish sandwiches for lunch, and a spaghetti dinner. There will be no room for dessert which is just as well.

My new wrist monitor should arrive later in the day. I think I am getting more paranoid. I want a wrist monitor to be accurate with calories burned so I can adjust my meals accordingly. I do not want to gain weight. I have too much money invested in my new clothes. So let’s see if this works out. Fortunately, I can return the new monitor if it does not work out for me. I also can keep it and send back the one I have now. According to research that I have done, a combination of this wrist monitor and a chest heart monitor should provide me with up to 95% accuracy of calories burned. I will believe it when I see this turn out to be true.

As an aside, UpDownAround, we can get some idea about how accurate your wrist band is using some some crude calculations like steps per calorie. I am very curious about this. I think yours is more accurate than the one I have now despite the basic calculations that your band makes in comparison to mine.
