I've been hitting the gym for about two months. I've been getting up at 5:30 a.m., Monday through Friday, and working out before I go to work. The results have been underwhelming. But I haven't really done much to change what I've been eating, and I'm old, so I shouldn't be expecting a lot. I've been pretty disciplined, weight lifting, doing cardio, logging my routine. I'm going to keep it up, but I'm getting discouraged.

Today, I actually injured myself playing Whiffle Ball. Stubbed my toe, wearing sandals, trying to stop short on a base. And wrenched my back diving in another time. I wasn't the only one. There was one other guy who actually had to be helped off the field.

The picture above is a Spankometer (proper pronunciation: spank-am-meh-tur, not spank-oh-meet-er). One way to track very specific exercise calories.
