So here we are day 1. I posted a photo of my journey so far on yesterday’s blog.  Before heading to San Francisco I suspect I was similar in size to the picture on the left below, now I’m more like the picture of me in the evening gown on the right. So not a huge disaster but a significant enough increase that I know it needs to be addressed.

Remember my goals are to reduce my intake of fructose and decrease my rest heart rate. Anything else is a bonus so here are my measurements taken today:

Yesterday I logged my food intake on Myfitnesspal and my sugar and fat intake are way too high:

Although I seemed to have earned 434 calories from exercise yesterday I’m not quite sure how as I only walked 8537 steps, albeit I was walking up and down little hills. Which can increase the calories you burn quite significantly. Check out this blog.

Each day I shall share my food intake and my exercise.  Once a week I shall share my progress. I shall be following Myfitnesspal’s “6-week belly fat blasting walking plan“. So today being Tuesday I’ll be heading for a 30 minute power walk this afternoon.
