    Well, I think I'll return to the gym tomorrow evening. I'm sure I gained some weight from missing out the last couple weeks. At least I didn't gain it from eating candy and cookies.

    Here's a question for you knowledgeable folks.

    I ate breakfast this morning about 7:25. Wheat Chex cereal with 2% milk. Now, almost three hours, I'm feeling a good bit hungry. Lunch is in another hour. I keep some almonds in my desk for this reason. Just snacked on 8 almonds (yes, I count them so I don't overindulge as their calorie-laden). This morning has been pretty active with a good bit of walking. Not overt exercise but plenty of movement.

    Questions: Is it normal for a lighter breakfast like that to wear off so quickly? Should I power through the hunger, forgo the almonds, and wait until lunch? What's the best for your metabolism?

    When I have cereal I usually also have a banana which seems to help hold me until lunch.

    Normal. It is also good, to graze on healthy snacks, inbetween meals. Almonds are a good choice, in moderation. 8 is minimal.

    Merry Christmas! Eating well here. My wife is making Keto friendly deserts and low carb side dishes for the celebration of Christ's birth. It will (or should be) the first Christmas without any weight gain.

    I just signed up to do walks around our Senior Center each week. Sometimes I can schedule it in for twice a week, other times just once. But it'll be a nice addition to my gym workouts :).

    Anyone have a pocket pedometer that they recommend? I don't want a Fitbit or a watch apparatus. I often have my Iphone in my pocket but I don't think the built-in step counter is accurate. Some type of small pocket pedometer would work for me.
