I track my weight every morning first thing when I wake up on a Withings Body+ scale.Īrmed with food & weight data and goals I turned to increasing my exercise alongside reducing my calories.

It’s super easy to track everything and at the end of the day it tells you not total calories but also breakdown by fat, carbs and protein (plus sodium, etc). I quantified my food intake initially through Noom and later MyFitnessPal where I keep a food journal. Tiring out the teens ) From Food to Movement

I can sneak out after a day of meetings and put in 10 miles and still be back at my computer 1:45 later and typing away or Zooming (with a hat and still sweaty :)). But I can run a 10k in sub 8-minute miles which for 52 years old and a busy, full-time job isn’t too shabby either. I’m not a world-class athlete and I never will be (nor want to be). So far I have written about the psychology of food and separately about the food services I use and today I am going to talk about how I gamified my sports routines to increase consistent performance every month. I will publish a lot more about the gear I used and what works and what doesn’t but today is about how I started to supercharge my workouts. I have been on an 18-month, consistent, focused, data-driven approach to improving everything about myself from food to workouts to sleep (Oura Ring) to water intake (Hidrate). I’m no superhero and I’m not going to give you some unrealistic story that is unachievable. This is part of a weight loss and fitness improvement series that I’m writing to share how I went from 222 pounds and unable to bike more than 20 minutes on a Peloton to 153 pounds and running 8–12 miles / day in just 18 months.
