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.

What I ate today

Apparently a vigorous half-hour of exercise will really help alter these stats. Cool to know. Given how things went vacation week, I'm going to wait another week before weighing, but I feel like I'm back on track after that detour.
