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 752
I hardly slept a wink. Family stuff kept me tossing until 12:30 and my alarm woke me for my flight at 2:05am. I got through the airport without issues and am now in Havana. More tomorrow. It is good to be 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 750
Yesterday was a terrible day for my eating. I had a lovely (but very large) steak for dinner which I had bought at Costco earlier in the day. I also had a lot of peanuts. Stupid stupid stupid! At least I did a 5km jog as well.

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

Day 747
Okay, repeat after me: I must stop buying breakfast cereal! If it was not for that then I might be okay today. As it is, I am up again. I ate too much of it last night and bang… all of the progress I made over the previous two days is gone. Today I will
