My first steps

Today I take my first step in this journey. To begin with I have to do some research and fact finding - where am I now? How healthy/unhealthy am I? What are my stats? These first few days will be mostly about that - however I will also work on making 2 changes in my life.
  1. exercise - upon arriving home from work I will walk around the 'block' 1x before going inside.
  2. eating - I will limit myself to one square of chocolate per day (= to one square of a ritter sport bar - NOT the whole bar)
Here are the facts that I want to gather:
  • weight
  • BMI
  • Waist circumference measurement
  • Blood pressure
  • "REALAGE"

I already know from my doctor that I am on the verge of becoming diabetic - which is one reason I am beginning this journey. 

Along with these facts I also want to make a list of all the reasons why I want to accomplish this, and all the things that get in my way.
