Day 759
Yesterday was another good day… for a lot of reasons. It was also a bad cheat day with regard to my food intake. Lunch was good, and the pizza that I ordered for dinner would have been fine… if Johnny hadn’t ordered another pizza for us to share. I take solace in the fact that…

Day 758
I think I messed up the days again yesterday so I now have two posts in a row called 758. I’ll figure it out and fix it later. Yesterday was another great day. I logged over 16,000 steps again. I don’t have the time right now to go into it, but if I can later…

Day 757
I clocked 19,300 steps yesterday (not including the 1700 steps I walked after midnight but before bed), bringing my total since I got to Cuba to just over 99,000 steps in five days. By any measure that is a big success. I am glad that the pains in my feet are still less and less…

Day 756
So much for my original plans. I recorded over 16,000 steps yesterday. They are sore again today, but not as bad as yesterday. I am glad I brought a bottle of Aspirin though! I left my laptop in the room… maybe I’ll write more later, but I’m not going out of my way to be…

Day 755
There are some things that would be difficult for anyone who has not spent time in Cuba to understand. One of these is that Internet is only available in some places, and then only when it feels like working. As an example, it rained yesterday, hence despite having written my article, I could not publish…

Day 754
I surpassed all expectations yesterday and am quite proud of myself for it. I ate a healthy breakfast, I went for a jog (which after 1 km in the heat and humidity turned into a power-walk), and I had a healthy dinner. I did a lot of walking, surpassing 25,000 steps! I had a single…

Day 753
Saturday evening was not nearly as successful as the rest of the day was. I took my son the younger for dinner, and I was very happy to see him (as I always am). He confided something in me about his relationship with his brother that disturbed me so much that when I got home,…

Day 751
I am having a good day so far… after a wonderful but very late night last night. No details; I was out and had a nice time. Unfortunately, that gave me precious little sleep. I was relieved that of the 3.2 lbs. that I gained yesterday morning, I dropped 2.8 lbs. this morning… putting me…

Day 749
I seem to be a day behind in my thinking… or I lost a day along the way somewhere. I have been thinking today was Wednesday, so when my countdown timer to my trip showed that I was just under three-days away I was confused. Did I accidentally input Saturday instead of Sunday? No… it…

Day 748
I was disappointed this morning to see that I not only gained weight again but gained a substantial amount of it. I did not eat badly yesterday, and I jogged nearly thirty minutes. The things I can point to from yesterday that were not on my program were a roll for breakfast, an apple in…
