There have been a lot of signs of how well I've done on my diet, and some have been very obvious (such as losing 60 pounds). Others are a lot subtler though, and one I caught myself looking at was how much I've improved my running times. Last night I ran at 6.5 miles an hour for most of an hour, before picking up the speed a bit at the end. Two years ago, my first treadmill attempt last 10 minutes or so at 4 miles per hour. It's not just the distance/time that has improved, it's also been the speed. Those 2.5 mph don't seem like much, but they translate to quite a few calories, and quite a bit of work.
Food today: egg and cheese sandwich (300 calories), small burger with fries (1100 calories), steak and homemade fries (1100 calories), no snacks on the day. Exercise was an hour on the treadmill (1039 calories).
