This is one of my new years resolution: to relose my weight. I am as of the New Year, medically overweight.

Why is this journey going in as a blog entry? From what I read when you have accountablity you do a better job. As always, I like to have a record of my social media on my own site even though I am on My Fitness Pal.

Before I get started, here are some simple facts about obesity or being medically overweight: [AOBF2020]

• The prevalence of obesity was 39.8% and affected about 93.3 million of US adults in 2015~2016

• The prevalence of obesity was 39.8% and affected about 93.3 million of US adults in 2015~2016 Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer that are some of the leading causes of preventable, premature death.

• The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the United States was $147 billion in 2008 US dollars; the medical cost for people who have obesity was $1,429 higher than those of normal weight.

As last time I tried my goal is to use percent bodyfat as my goal. Although I am looking for a 15% body fat, the range I am looking for is 15% to 17%. The numbers I plan to base it by my bodyfat on my Index scale and American Council on Excerse:

Description	Women	Men
Essential Fat	10-13%	2-5%
Athletes	14-20%	6-13%
Fitness	21-24%	14-17%
Acceptable	25-31%	18-24%
Obesity	>32%	>25%

I hope that I do not fall on my face like the last time: Healthy BMI Reboot.

In the tradition of last year, I decide run a report of what I have done as a year in exercise. I did a lot more than 2018. I am going to say this, it is not bad for a middle aged desk jockey.

2019 Activities

Activity Type	Activities	Total Distance	Average Distance	Max Distance	Average Speed
Cycling	37	976.51 mi	26.39 mi	59.01 mi	11.8 mph
Hiking	1	2.28 mi	2.28 mi	2.28 mi	2.9 mph
Running	159	824.23 mi	5.18 mi	14.45 mi	5.2 mph
Swimming	49	28.02 mi	0.57 mi	1.24 mi	1.6 mph
Walking	339	260.60 mi	0.77 mi	6.77 mi	3.1 mph

I did not include other activites that I tracked such as body weight exercises, sailing, or swing dancing.

I am going to start including weight for accountablility. Lets say that 2019 was not a banner year.

Carl Sandburg is one of my favorite poets from my early University life. I been running across his poems again. That poet speaks to me. My position was aways that the Ocean demands respect. If you don't give it respect that the it demands, it will punish you without mercy.

"The sea speaks a language polite people never repeat. It is a colossal scavenger slang and has no respect."

—Carl Sandburg (1878-1967), U.S. poet. Two Nocturnes.

Will write more later, just wanted to put up these pictures.

Escape sailed the 2019 SBYC Holiday Regatta. It was a two day event.

Sunday was interesting (Day 2). Heavy wind. We actually got up to 12.8 knotes on one run. We also had an encredible broach. I was thankful that no one was in the water.

A fellow captain told me this rule: If there are whitecaps, PFDs go on. On that day, it was word to the wise.

Day one path sailed:

Day two path sailed:

Great pictures for Sunday.

Been a long time since I broached Escape. This was intense.

A small warning, some salty language. A fun day on the ocean. We had wind gusts around 18 with average winds of 15vmph plus it was COLD. The wind direction was unusual. We still had an angle to fly the kite. We sailed course HD7 reverse (C/H/K/Finish) for 5.5 nautical miles (6.3 miles). Our club handicap for the day was still bad. CHRF racing is like golfing handicaps. It changes from race to race. Speed Stats in MPH during the race: Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. 2.311 7.163 7.729 7.852 8.326 14.017
