So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Leg press: 385 lbs.

Still fat, but doing better. Still a few weeks from my intermediate weight goal. I was hoping I would make it by the Independence Day on July 4, but I really do not think that will happen. Still, my leg press is back up to 385 lbs. for 3 sets of ten reps. I am hoping to hit 405 lbs. and then just stay there for awhile. I am thinking of moving away from the chest press machine to do real bench presses. I am not sure where I am with that. It would be nice to be able to get back to my one time working weight of 225 lbs., but that might be a bridge too far. I am currently doing 3 sets of 10 reps at 170 lbs. on the chest press.

Diet corn tortillas!!!

These 25 calorie corn tortillas are what make our new healthy diet plan actually work. They are amazingly good and perfect for our high protein, nutritious diet. We had to order them from Walmart online and wait a couple of weeks for them to arrive. It was worth the wait.

Health plan

I did a pretty bad job of tracking my health in my previous blog, but even the little I did was a big help to me. My brother, Doug, and I have been teaming up and using AI to develop customized health and diet plans and keep each other accountable now that we are septuagenarians. Doug has been doing it longer than me, but he got me onto a diet plan that I amazed actually works. I started all this on January 2, 2026–the chart shown here is my weight progress since I began. I have an intermediate goal of 199 lbs. on the way to a final goal of 170 lbs. with that final goal being a little more mushy because the AI and I are not sure what weight is really appropriate for me given my history and body type. This post is a stake in the ground for myself to report back here on a regular basis, first on my weight and BMI, then on other goals–not sure what they might be yet.
