What are those numbers at the end of my blog?

The numbers are my vitals. Blood pressure, temperature, etc. Plus some weather statistics. From left to right the key to the numbers is presented below.


Key to the row of numbers.

1. Date.
2. Weight, pounds.
3. Waist measurement, inches.
4. High blood pressure, pounds per square inch.
5. Low blood pressure, pounds per square inch.
6. Pulse, heart beats per minute.
7. Body temperature.
8. Number of steps I made in the day.
9. High outside temperature for the day.
10. Low outside temperature for the day.
11. Rainfall, inches.

These numbers are of value as medical history. I also take the measurements and list them so that they might shame me into good behavior. You can see from the numbers presented below that it is not working.

My weight this morning at 251.6 is the most that I have weighed in my life. My blood pressure is increasing. I believe that my ankles are swollen larger each evening. My steps per day have been fairly good. It looks like I should walk even more and stop eating so much. I want to be in shape for my trip next month to the East Coast. I also want to be around for a trip to England next  May with my daughter.
