Bringing It up to Date

So that's where things stand now. 279 pounds and jeans that don't fit.

I can't work out except for a bit of stretching and floating in the pool, as it is too painful.

I also haven't been keeping my food journal for a while. Probably the single most important key to my success was the food journal. Since about the second week of our starting the program in January 2008 I have been using a simple Mead 6 x 9 wire-bound notebook to keep track of my eating and exercise.

The good news is I have started again.

I have figured to start at 2000 calories per day, with 40% of that (200 grams) being protein. If I can get that then the other macros fall into place.
