Transitions

The July issue of Wired (one of my favorite mag­a­zines) bears the tag line Liv­ing by Num­bers. A sig­nif­i­cant pro­por­tion of the mag­a­zine is devoted to men­tal and phys­i­cal hacks you can use to track your well­be­ing bases on quan­ti­ta­tive analysis.

There are a bunch of great arti­cles in there on the mea­sur­able ben­e­fits, espe­cially for some­one geeky like me, in keep­ing track of health fac­tors by the numbers.

It’s work­ing this way that has meant health, diet and fit­ness suc­cess for me in the past. Doing it again (and keep­ing at it) seems a log­i­cal step. Fol­low along with the num­bers with me.

I’m per­son­ally keep­ing daily track of things like my scale weight and rest­ing heart rate, and will get things like girths and skin­folds done when I’m at the gym. But I’m only going to post them weekly, on a Sun­day, to illus­trate progress. There might even be graphs!
