Spurred on by your inspirational comments, I’ve decided that weight loss isn’t the best gauge for my fitness goals. I want to be healthier all around, not just lighter. To that end, I bought some pretty cool new software for my PDA called BalanceLog. So far it seems great. It allows me to keep track of all the food I eat and the exercise I perform, and it allows me to set fitness goals and track them. I’m already learning stuff about myself. Today, for instance, I was surprised to see that while my diet was low in fat, it was actually pretty high in sodium. Gotta work on that. See? I’m feeling healthier already.

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
