Busy Day but lunch date made it better

Today has been a busy day at work.  My wife and daughter came up to visit me for lunch which was a nice change of scenery but as soon as they went home I was back at it.   

I’m not really tracking my food that much until January 1^st (official Day 1 of Diet) so I ate an excellent Chipotle Lunch and had my Granny’s homemade Chicken & Dumplings which were amazing…..3 bowls amazing to be exact.   

I also watched Joe Cross’s Documentary "Fat, Sick, And Nearly Dead" which is a story about him embarking on a journey of going on a juicing fast for 60 days while travelling across America.   The stories and weight loss results he and others experienced on there really motivated me to not just settle for a 3-day fast (possibly go longer depending on how I feel).   

I then go to check my UPS tracking number on my new Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juicer and what do you know, it won’t be delivered until Monday January 5^th.   This is going to cause a problem with going on a juice fast the 1^st so I’m going to have to get creative…..I may ask to borrow my brother’s juicer to make sure I stick to my diet goal.  

I had mentioned that I would discuss some of the accessories or gadgets I’ll be using to monitor my process and activity.   The main one I will be using is my  UP24 by Jawbone  which i have now been wearing for a little over 15 months.  It’s just a bracelet that tracks my steps & sleep patterns with ease.  It ties into lots of other applications, tools, and websites to better sync all your information into one.  I also use My Fitness Pal which has been a vast catalog of food libraries and nutritional information.  I enter my food through My fitness pal and it syncs the data over to my UP Application.  

This is yesterday’s Progress from sleep to steps.

(Note I don’t have all the food entered)

I currently have my goals set on 6 1/2 Hours of Sleep & 7500 Steps a Day.  I stated that I want to average at least 5000 steps a day for a month.    Hopefully I can keep this up!
