I took a day off from walking/exercise yesterday. Today I walked down to get the mail, which is a steep grade and 15 min. I may ride the spin bike in front of the TV later.

We need REGULAR exercise, not extreme exercise. I've lurched from "couch potato" to "training for the Tour de France." We need to find the middle path.

We're revising our diet perspectives:

I can eat a "reasonable/balanced" diet.

15 gr. carb is an "exchange." I get 58 gr. carb per meal -- more or less. Diet needs to be a balance of carbs, proteins, fats. Fats should be unsaturated like avocado and olive oil, olives. Fish is the "good protein" -- low fat, high in Omega 3. Leafy veggies, tomatoes, cruciferous, are good choices.

Diet guides emphasize portion control and eating nutritious foods rather than junk bombs.

I was 241.8 and 44% this morning.
