Not bad for Week 48, Day 1

Unfortunately, for the first time since I started this journey I have to admit that I have a cold.  I really was hoping to go a full year without being sick.  I have felt colds coming on a few times during the past year, but I was always able to take care of them with one day of rest.  This one didn't go away after one day.  Oh well, I will just keep resting my body and in a few days I should be back up to speed.

Since I will probably be a bit limited in my exercise for a few days, I really have to watch what I eat.  I count calories every day.  Now I do it without really thinking about it.  I eat a pretty limited variety of foods, so I have memorized most of the calorie counts.  My goal during this weight loss phase is 1600 calories per day.  Yesterday, I consumed 1675 calories.  I tried to keep it at 1600, but a small snack of tortilla chips pushed me over the limit.  No big deal.

Since I was resting yesterday, I didn't train.  I have a court reserved with a ball machine tonight so I will get in an hour of tennis.  I want to focus on a few technical things so it won't be a cardio workout, but it will get me moving a little bit.  I will also be watching my calories very closely today.

Cheers.
