I’m still righteous. Awake at 06:00 getting my routine in. Up to 100 sit ups. Eating right in the  right amounts. Hydrating. Moisturizing. Flossing.

I even shaved my stomach! Weird, I know. Anything to keep me focused on my tasks. I got the idea to write on my mirror with white board markers so I can make to do lists, and add some motivational stuff.

"Expect good things."

I am two for two at O6:00. Despite getting up around 01:40 and back down at 04:00.

I did very well at eating the right amounts yesterday. A few curb balls came my way (being invited to dinner) yet, I stayed the course. My wife said she is proud of me. I’m proud of me.  China is much easier to healthy, if I remain closer to native aesthetics about food and body.
42 days to change a habit?

I did 35 sit ups, stretched, and a little Kung Fu on the rooftop as China comes to life in the morning. Some of the ol’ gals around here put me to shame with their morning exercise. More power to them and me.  I waited for the Sun but it was a bit cloudy this morning. Yet the golden light danced around the clouds and I knew I had been rewarded for being a good fat man today.

I’m taking it slow, I know. Later I will get my measurements, weight, and photos up.

My first morning back in China.
I woke up at 6 am and did exactly what I said I was going to do. I did 25 sit ups on the ball and then walked up seven flights of stairs to the roof top of my building and stretched out a bit. I watched the sun rise and knew I was right on track. I’m having goji (wolf berry), oatmeal, and yogurt for breakfast. I measured the amounts, but can see that it is more than I anticipated. So I will eat half now and the other half later.

I have alot of work to do get settled back in the flat. Lots of unpacking, cleaning, and organizing.
