I've been eating far better the past couple of weeks. Is is time to start managing intake for weight loss? Maybe almost. I am due to get my knee scoped in a couple of days -- not to put to fine a point on it, there is something "funky" inside my knee: it swells, it hurts, it's stiff. My exercise ability will be reduced a bit for a week or so afterward, so maybe I ought to focus on maintenance for the next week or so and regroup a week from now.Thursday, May 17th 2012

I will work on this stuff this weekend.Wednesday, May 16th 2012

However, I'm going to try to keep my eye on the ball and eat right. If I stay with this, I will lose over time, and I will be healthier and feel better.
