Late November Exercise

The Plan--to get back to balance (and regularity) in my exercise routine
done:
Nov 23:  35 minute walk/run; 30 minute pilates
Nov 24:  20 minutes pilates
Nov 25: 1 hr walk
Nov 26:  another walk, this time Glenway Gardens--feel the gluts! ~45 min
Nov 27:  nada
Nov 28:  Strength training 1 hr.
Nov 29: Walking and pilates 30 min
Nov 30: Yoga 75 min

Another reason for recommitment:  just found out my cholesterol is high (247; high is over 240), as is my LDL (161; high is 160-189); HDL is good (68--60 and above is optimal), as well as my triglycerides (92--less than 150 is normal)--the good changes in HDL and triglycerides can be due to exercise.  Some ratios are good:  So I need to continue exercise, but also watch my diet and lose 10% of my weight to try to decrease the other numbers.  I need to check back in with my doc in 6 months.   SO:  6 pounds between now and New Years;  10 pounds during winter quarter.  Keep it off during spring and possibly see about losing more if needed.  Check in with doc at end of spring quarter.

Finally, back on caloriecount.com; checking what I'm eating every day.  Only way to know that I'm not eating more than I'm burning--simple math; simply works.
