Jan 30

I haven't been keeping up with my daily diary as much as I should. Truthfully, I think keeping up daily will be more important when I get home than it is currently. Here, in Puerto Vallarta, it is easy to stay active and walk every day. It will take more of an effort when I get home.
I have managed more than my targeted steps for the past several days and I am getting started a little earlier in the day for the most part. Again, that will be more difficult back home and with colder mornings.

The diet part has also been easier. Here, I eat out for nearly all meals and there isn't much in the way of snack food (or food at all) at the kids' place. At home, there is always something to eat, even if it's just toast and peanut butter. I am going to need to be more disciplined.

Overall, I am pleased with how I have done this first month of the year. I have been regularly active and I have been much more aware of what I am consuming and doing a better job of eating healthy and eating less. I did find out that the kids have a bathroom scale in their room, so I may see what my weight is tomorrow morning. Obviously, there may be a slight difference in calibration from our home scale, but it should give me some idea of how things are going weight-wise.
