Personal Fitness: 2018.12.17

Missed two posts last week due to crappy sleep. So here’s where I am now: Gained back another pound. Lost two push-ups. On the other hand I added 24s to the plank!
Next post on Wednesday.

What is this all about?
I am 53, obese, diabetic, and had neck surgery at the end of May which required sitting on a couch for the month of June to recover from. I am out of shape. Above is a dashboard view of my progress towards my fitness goals. I will be updating this dashboard in subsequent posts. I welcome questions and encouragement.

Fitness Strategies:
1. Intermittent Fasting - I am only eating between the hours of 11am and 7pm each day and fasting the other 16 hours

2. Just Six Weeks - this is a $2 phone app that trains you from wherever you are at to being able to do 100 push-ups, 200 sit-ups and five other body weight exercises

3. Regular posting on my social media streams for accountability and hopefully to inspire others
