Activity & Weight Tracking is part of a Healthy Lifestyle Plan that I am adopting. I want to emphasize, I am not on a diet. I do not believe in diets as a pathway to getting to and maintaining a healthy weight or lifestyle. I do believe that enjoying a healthy lifestyle as we age is far easier if, all things considered, we are close to our own individual optimal personal body weight.
On May 29, 2022 I began daily intermittent fasting, 16-hours, from 2:00 pm to 6:00 am. Over the course of the coming weeks and months I’ll track activities I see as promoting my personal desired lifestyle. One very important measure is allowing my body to tell me when I have reached my optimal personal body weight.
Specifics and references can be found in Notes at the bottom of this post. Comments are very much welcome, thank you.
