oh, one other thing
prompted by my co-worker Kaya’s hard-core devotion to lose weight, i bought a scale. it is a cheap, analog, hard-to-read thing but it should help me gauge my relative progress. Kaya is being much more extreme than i think i will. i’m more interested in developing healthy habits than immediate benefits. i believe my current weight is about 136. if i get some time this evening, i will be redesigning the diary. so many things to do! =)
