One achievement to note this year (so far): I have kept my weight fluctuation down better than any other time in the last ten years.
I have an average weight (using the year's high of 206.1 pounds, and the low of 195.9 pounds) of 201 pounds, probably the lowest average weight in the last fifteen years, definitely the lowest in the last ten years.
The variation is within +/-2.5%.
As meaningless statistics go, I like this one.
And, while eating and food preparation and selection gets a lot of attention from me, I don't feel it is obsessive. I do feel I 'have it down' and know what to do to maintain my weight.
I get compliments on my physical condition all the time, because what is wrong with me (arthritis, diabetic nerve pain, lack of flexibility) doesn't show.
But I do have those health complaints, and they are beginning to have an impact. Walking has become a challenge. On a relatively short walk, I have pain I walk through when I must, or stop walking when I can.
Still, I'm grateful for the health I have - enough to let me continue to make music and get where I need to go.
