I weigh 176 today. Interesting. I have been hanging between 176 and 177. My fitness watch tells me I am in poor health. This is probably why the calories burned is on the high side. As this improves over time, both in accuracy and magnitude, my calories burned should decrease for the same work. What is interesting is that these activity monitors challenge me to do better. I want to increase the numbers by exersixing more.

With this new one, the distance and heart rate are right on. Pushing myself makes me feel that I really am exerting myself on walks. My previous watch gave me heart bpm that was not reflective of my efforts. Now with this watch, it is. I have been hitting as high as 150, where my older watch would show it as being in the 130s. I will check the accuracy of the steps taken.

Enough about my little toy. Blah blah blah blah blah.

I am starting to feel better. My depression is not as severe due to my exersizing. Doing a quarter of a mile around the condo complex used to be enough for me. Now I am walking four miles. My weight has been remaining stable so far. So this is good. My next goal is walking four miles without stopping when half way over. Eight miles with a stop is my next distance goal That will be about at least 16,000 steps. There is a Denny’s restaurant there where for $2 I can eat a stack of pancakes. This will be a nice reward for me.
