It's been a good few days. Good walks and step totals and mostly good eating.
Step totals may take a bit of a hit in the next couple of days as we head to Guadalajara to watch a baseball game. I may still get them in. I'll just have to see how it goes.
I don't know if I'm losing any weight or not, but I feel good. I've been drinking more beer than I usually do and I know that tends to make weight loss more difficult for me. I guess I'll see when I get home in a couple of weeks.

Hmmm...
I don't know how I have missed posting for the past few days. I've been doing a good job of getting my steps in every day. I don't know if it's going to happen today, but I'm okay with that. I picked up a package of mixed candy bars and M&Ms the other day. Definitely not the best idea for the diet part of healthy living. Other than the sweets, though, I've been doing fairly well.
I'll need to get back on the walking tomorrow.
John
A good day today.
I took a nice long walk and ate well.
Maybe I'll do some beach sitting tomorrow. Maybe not.
I really did enjoy walking along the Malecon today and feeling the energy of the ocean. I think the water must be pretty cool. Nobody was getting in more than walking along the edge and letting the waves lap at their ankles. I'm sure the Pacific La Nina plays a part in that cold surface water.
It's only 8:30 and I'm a little short of 10,000 steps for the day, so I'll probably take a short stroll tonight to top that mark. Not much else to report.

It's a morning post today. Yesterday was a good day. I am going to need to be more purposeful about walking in the coming days. I got some good walking in, but could have (should have) done a little more. It is different walking here with the uneven road surfaces and irregular sidewalks. I do love the warmer temps, even with the humidity.
I am continuing to do well with the diet and hope that I will continue to drop pounds throughout my stay here in PV. Aaron will be here today, but will be leaving for the weekend in the morning.
Be well,
John
After a couple of crazy days I think I'm back to posting every day. I don't have a weigh-in today because I'm not at home and won't be for a few weeks. My Jan 14th weight was 268. That's -10 for the month and -17 since the beginning of December.
Yesterday was a good diet day and I managed to get my steps in even though I spent most of the day sitting in a cramped, crowded airplane.
Looking forward to a relaxing day today.
John
Well I wouldn't put getting sick on the list of healthy weight loss solutions, but after three days of feeling crappy and not eating hardly anything I am down to 270 lbs this morning. That's -15 since December 1st and -8 since Jan 1st. I guess I need to eat like I'm sick when I'm not, or maybe add a little food to compensate for some activity and exercise.
No exercise for the 9th or 10th, probably not going to be any for today either.
Damn. These two overnight shifts have kicked my butt. I know that it is partially due to trying to get back to my regular sleep schedule and having a couple of short sleep days, but I'm feeling pretty wiped out. I did manage to hit my daily step goal, but not much else.
On the weightless front -- I lost two pounds for week one.
It's not much, but it is a start in the right direction.
John
Well it's almost the end of the day on Jan 7 and I haven't spent any time dedicated to exercise.
My change in schedule made it more difficult to accomplish, although I am sure I could have if I were more committed to it.
However, my morning and evening time at the shelter provided me with more than enough steps to achieve my daily step goal, so I'm counting the day as a win.
I will have to do better tomorrow, though. This shelter won't be open tomorrow night, so I will definitely need some indoor cycle or treadmill time.
John
I did get some treadmill time today, as well as a little dumbbell work.
Yay, me.
Keeping track of my diet will be weird since I'll be up all night at one of the crisis cold weather shelters.
On the plus side, I think an afternoon/evening coffee is in order.
Tomorrow will be a trickier day. I'll be day sleeping and will need to get my exercise before going in for another overnight. I'm a pretty slow starter when I get up. I like my coffee and quiet time before doing anything else. However it works out, I'm not going to sweat it -- it's only one day.
