    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?

    Miniscule climb - 400 feet
    Here is some dysfunction for you. What if I got 50 minutes of exercise biking the 8 mile round trip to the beer store?
    Even weirder - Strava has got segments on that route. So I got PRs going to the beer store and back.
    But my month's climb is up to 22,000 feet. So I am kind of on track to my goal for a 30,000 foot month. 1,000 foot per day average. That is what I want.

    I ought to put a picture of something.

    - I put a picture of a can of fiber supplement. I most always close the kitchen with a chug of fiber supplement. There is a lot can be said about that.
    - I am an old guy kind of. I got a doctor called gastroenterologist. Goog says I ain't spelling that right. But that doc does a thing called colonoscopy. I know, I know, but you got to do it. It will add years to your life if you got a genetic predisposition to those kind of problems.
    - That doc told me one time "are you taking a fiber supplement?" I said "yes" He said "what kind?" I said "psyllium husk." He said "double it."
    - So I ain't blowing smoke when I say fiber supplement. Real doc said do it.
    - Weight watchers - I used to do that like 50 pounds ago. Back in those days they had a slider. You look at food labels and get the calories and slide it up, but if there was fiber in that label you could slide down a bit.
    - So I figure that. You can slide your calories down a bit if you are eating fiber. When you think about it - makes perfect sense.
    - Other thing about fiber is - if you want exercise in the morning there is that thing that you don't want in the way of it.
    - I exercise in the morning. My exercise takes me miles from any sort of convenience.
    - But stop me before I go into too much detail. I just say regularity is convenient and accommodates an active lifestyle. It is good for your health on multiple counts. I ain't no doctor and I ain't got oodles of credibility but just saying what works for me.
    - Sorry if I am too weird.

    @BuddysSurrogateGrandpa1 After having had psyllium fibre for years, suddenly one day I couldn’t, it sent me running to the bathroom. I’ve read that I’m not the only one this has happened to. I have to rely on fruits and veggies for fibre now. Hope the psyllium keeps working for you.

    I wonder what is different about that? My wife sometimes takes an antibiotic then she can't even have a salad without getting that problem.

    Oh how I wish I understood all this stuff.
