Monitoring will push improvements

I've recently purchased a new gadget, a WiFi-scale, that hopefully will enable further improvements regarding my body compostion. The scale measures weight and body mass (fat percent) and each measurement is transferred instantly and wireless to a personal web page. Since my gym exercises don't really show steady weight improvements I am also interested in my body composition as well. I am a strong believer of the good old quality assurance approach where all measurements are of use. If you can display your numbers of relevant parameters, everybody will understand (intuitively) when a diagram show slopes or changes. This is called "the data will show in your face". I like this way of working with myself, and the real advantage with the automatic monitoring and documentation is that you will never get tired of this, neither will you try to manually adjust any figures.

I also do some parallell monitoring (manually) of waist and blood pressure/pulse at rest. These are true health parameters, especially in my age, being male and having a stressful work. I will report back in this blog the rate of improvement in all these parameters. I will not change diet or exercise in any dramatic way, rather try to find a steady slope, rate of change. I believe that slow change will be much more longlasting and the overall goal is to find a balance where I can find healthy figures and a nice way of living. I will try to level out in a number of years and never really quit doing this. Improvement is a constant joy!
