Notes:

I don't know if I can promise that I'll be all that consistent with these posts. Every once in a while I'll get the idea to do a daily food log / weigh in. but then it'll be several months later when I get the idea again to log anything in it.

Today I decided to start this up again because I was starting to be really good on my Keto Diet over the last week or so and when I weighed myself this morning I was down 5 pounds compared to my Sunday Weekly Weigh In video. And seeing exciting progress I thought I would start up a food log again. We'll see if I can actually stick to a food log or not, but I want to at least stick to the Keto plan.

I have long read that BMI isn't the best way to determine overall health (mostly that it doesn't account for muscle {not that I'm struggling with an overabundance of muscle} But I have recently come across a new measurement that is supposed to make a more accurate judgement of health: The "Waist to Height Ratio" Basically if you divide your Waist by your Height you can determine what your "Ideal" waistline would be. The "Ideal" "WtHR" is around 43% to 52% and my current measurement on this is 76% so yeah, I have some progress to make, but I do see this as an attainable goal

I did drink quite a bit of diet soda, but I didn't track the amount I drank. I want to finish off the soda I have and then hopefully break that particular habit all together. Despite the name "Diet" Soda is not good for you. I want to research the downsides of diet soda, but I have a VERY long to-do list

 I finished the night drinking diet soda with some whiskey. I have developed a bit of a bad habit with picking up a six pack of beer on my way home from work. I'm not sure why I went to the liquor store on Monday night. But that is another thing I need to watch out for.  My Dad (RIP) struggled with alcoholism and that's not something I want to pick up.
