Day 30

Posted on by

So, I’ve been on a self-imposed diet for the last 30 days.  I’ve lost about 10 pounds so far by just not eating like a piggie, which is pretty cool.

I’ve been using Fitday.com1 very sporadically since April of 2004.  I know this because I can go back and see what I entered for what I was eating and what I weighed back then.  It’s a pretty cool feature.  Kind of like Google Analytics for health.2  Friday was day 30 of my diet.

Unfortunately, Days 31 and 32 weren’t nearly as successful as days 1 through 30.

Here’s to tomorrow!  Another day!

Sooo… what’s going on with you?

Today:

  • I’ve got a meeting out in Monterey today at 10:00AM and then I have to swing by San Jose back to the office.  Just the driving alone will end up eating most of my day.  I’m hoping to be able to get back to the office by 4-5:00PM.
  • Day 2 of my diet.  My diet basically consists of not eating like a pig and monitoring what I eat using FitDay.com.  It’s basically a free online food diary where you enter the food you’ve eaten and your weight and it tallies the calories, fat/protein/carbs, and gives you all kinds of nifty graphs.  Finding the food can sometimes be an adventure, but overall it’s quite easy.  I first used the site about six or so years ago and every time I’ve stuck with it longer than about two weeks, it’s helped me lose weight.  The problem for me is that right up until the one or two week mark I’m always hungry.  :)
  • Eating a big bowl of oatmeal with raisins and honey right now.  I’ll grab some coffee on the way down to Monterey.  I’ve got a bunch of music burned to an MP3 disc for the trip and will probably end up listening to NPR most of the way.

Okay, go go go!
