Ominously foggy morning.  Just joined me for my morning walk, and it was a nice change to have some company.  He of course showed up early because he hadn’t slept yet, so it was still pretty dark and on a morning when it is so foggy, that made it hard to see much of anything until about 5:45am.

My weight is starting to bother me.  I was okay with plateaus, but when I look back at 1 May 2024, only a month ago, I was at 280.8 lb/127.37 kg.  Today I am at 273.6 lb/124.10 kg.  That just is such a tiny change for an entire month.  I did manage to get down to 268.8 lb/121.93 kg during May, but I bounced right back up.  I’m just not sure what the problem is exactly.  Maybe I’m eating too many calories, but it doesn’t seem like it.  I keep track and I don’t really go over.  I am also moving a lot more.  This plateau has been during the time I went from 1 mile daily to 2.  I’m exercising more than I had been.  I honestly don’t know what is causing me an issue.  I think for June I am going to have to strip everything back and rebuild my diet.  That will allow me to see where I might be going wrong.  It’s getting frustrating because I should still be losing weight.  That said, 7 lb in one month is actually very good, so I should be happy with it.  It is just such a dramatic drop in progress that I can’t help feeling a little discouraged.

My pace was good today.  Averaged 21’28”/mile.  Justin is already in better shape than I am, so he tends to walk faster naturally.  It was good to have him walking with me because it made me walk faster just to keep up.  According to my Fitness app, all of my heart health numbers are improving steadily… slowly, but steadily.  The graph shows all of them trending in the right direction starting in April when I started adding a daily walk to my routine.  It turns out, exercise might actually work.  Who knew?
