How I ate and exercised today

Three thoughts:

• Better than yesterday!
• I ate twice as much popcorn today as I usually will. What can I say? An air popper arrived in the post today; I had to test it out. It is now my favorite thing ever.
• I'd have logged more time exercising, except I hadn't really been on a bike in a year. I can barely move my legs as it is.

How I ate and exercised today

So. This wasn't good. Father's Day? OK excuse. Not a good one.

As it happens, I ran across the surgeon today who just a few weeks ago told me to lose 50 pounds, or give up hope of the surgery that will restore my health and comfort.

While I was finishing a scone.

Why do I share this? Well, this is not the first time I've come in above my calorie limit. It IS the first time I've come in above my calorie limit and shared it specifically. I might be able to hide from you. But eventually those 50 pounds will have to come off, or I'll be stuck inside this broken body forever. The truth won't be denied.

So the truth. Good and bad.
