June will be light orange
I like to record data and then I like to look at data. Sometimes I like to share data.
Just like I like to write down every single penny I spend, I also enjoy making a note of every single calorie that passes my lips. I then weigh myself every morning and in order to obtain a quick at-a-glance overview of how I am doing, I assigned a colour code for each day:
- over 14 stone: red
- between 13 1/2 and 14 stone: dark orange
- between 13 and 13 1/2 stone: light orange
- between 12 1/2 and 13 stone: yellow
- between 12 stone and 12 1/2 stone: green
Then, at the end of the month I calculate the average of all the daily weights, and get a colour for the month.
Today was light orange for the first time since 16 September 2006. Quite an achievement if you think that May had quite a few red days. Not so much of an achievement when you consider that I have not adopted healthier eating habits but have only been a bit disgusted by all sorts of food and I'm trying to discover what food I can stomach (tonight's dinner: marinated herring, carrots, celery with Greek yogurt - Dr B. nearly passed out in disgust).
