The Girl let me know about this site– Daily Plate. Basically, I can track my caloric intake and exercise with an online diary to chart my progress towards weight loss and running a 5k later this year. Some information that I found interesting about my lifestyle and health goals include:

Daily caloric intake goal: 2,170
Weekly weight-loss goal: 2 lbs.
Current weight: 255 lbs.
BMI: 30.24 (not good! overweight is above 25!)

I’m kind of frustrated that I let myself get this out of shape. In 2005 I was running 2 miles 4x per week and weighing around 215 lbs. If I can stick to this program, I should be able to lose around 10 lbs. by the end of the month. I’d like to see myself in ideal condition by the summer months. Right now, I think that looks like 225-230 lbs. and running 2 miles comfortably.

On a side note, I’m a little worried about my right knee. It has a verys trange popping/sliding thing going on right above the knee cap. I injured this knee when I was 12 years old and wasn’t able to walk on it for a 3 month time period. I’m concerned that this may be a later effect of that injury. I don’t notice it when I’m running, but it is very obvious when on the bike.
