This past week I’ve been exercising twice a day, as I try to boost the weekly total to about 17 hours of exercise/move time a week. That’s the point last time when I started to lose weight. I have also cut my carbs to breakfast time only with one or two exceptions: small sandwich (for…
diary for the 14th february, 2002. I went to the Chinese doctor this monring for acupuncture treatment. I was looking around his office, it's kind of like stepping back in time to a pervious decade, almost like an island out of time.

Mackerel on a bed of purple rice, served with salads and vegetables. Good! The eggs were a little too white, but Google photos doesn’t do much in terms of localized editing.
I spent much of September bringing my August excess under control. But since I started the 90 day diet… I looked at the stats: grinding the wheels!!! That’s all.
