So far so good, but 1 day at a time at this stage

Dear James, Daniel and Emily,

So far so good, I have done well to keep up my daily activities, and not push myself too far in the running while the other workouts do their part. I can feel the strength building, some of the core activities are already getting easier and I have been able to start building on those.

Also so far so good on the eating and appetite, had a challenge yesterday as we went out to eat lunch but I did well. But the key there is one day at a time there as well. I need to keep my focus on the calories one day at a time, I know that the appetite will decline if I keep a good focus on this.

I am not treating this as a New Years 'resolution', (even if the timing did coincide with that) this is just a return to best practices, ones I followed before. For one thing, if I keep up with the core strength training, and let the running build at a reasonable pace, I will be in a much better place than before. And if I keep the focus on the eating at the same time than it should be easier to avoid the trap I fell into of eating at a high pace just because I am getting exercise (I know easier said than done, but I would like to think I learned my lesson.)
