Half of Phil

I've been averaging nearly 16k steps per day for the month of February.  I didn't really set out to, I just knew the month had 3 less days than the last couple and didn't want my month total to drop off too much.  Not sure if I'll keep it up through the end of the month, but I'm on track to top my 435,410 from December. At some point a month will have to be a lower step count but for now every month since September I've increased my monthly count.  Now with soccer season picking back up and hours waiting at the field on practice I've been getting some extra steps in. I've had to adjust to going to 9Round some mornings to be able to make it to soccer in the evenings.  It's been a tough adjustment, but I'm still making it there 4 times per week most weeks. My weight fell slightly below 350 last week for the first time I can remember in years and years.  I'm still taking the slow and stead approach but the downward trend continues. Next

I've always heard and read about the news years bump in gym memberships.  This year I've witnessed it first hand.  At the end of December, most days we'd be alone at the gym with the trainers or maybe 2-3 other people. Since the start of year it's been crazy busy every time we've been.  Hopefully folks stick with it.  It's been great for me, although its getting tougher to work in each week now that soccer and OM are in full swing.   I think I've got a routine established now though. I'm down 78 Lbs overall now and 8 for the year.  Using the Jawbone tracker has the benefit that I can download the data.  I've shared a chart or two before, but here are some snap shots as of today.  I find the data informative and helpful to see progress in black and white. Here is a graph of the overall weight loss plotted out.  The downward slope looks encouraging. Here is a graph of my weekly weight loss averages, you see a lot of inconsistencies week to
