Losing Weight

With my knee, I've been trying a number of things, including losing weight. Just before Christmas I weighed myself one day at 230.

Yikes!

That's high. At least 10lbs, and perhaps 15 more than I'd like. I wish I could get down to 210, but at my age and with my life, I'm not sure that's possible right now. However, I do want to get better. The Fitbit has been helping, making me think about what I'm eating and when, along with the water I drink.

I'm not anal, or exact in terms of the food items I punch in, and I tend to leave coffee and diet soda out, though I know that those aren't the best things for me. However, if you look at the last two weeks, I've done a good job or burning more calories (roughly) than I eat (roughly).

I'm down to 226.4 today, which is a nice set of progress for me. I don't feel much smaller, and haven't seen much change in clothes, but this is a good trend.
