I have made a concerted effort to add more walking to my daily rituals. Here is my current log:
May 9, 2020 23 minutes
May 10, 2020 100 minutes
May 11, 2020 80 minutes
May 12, 2020 90 minutes
May 13, 2020 120 minutes
May 14, 2020 90 minutes
May 15, 2020 145 minutes
May 16, 2020 145 minutes
May 17, 2020 50 minutes
May 18, 2020 120 minutes
May 19, 2020 90 minutes
I estimate that I cover one statue mile (5,280 feet = 1,760 yards) in approximately 20 minutes. I have not calculated the number of steps per minute or mile.
I am on at least two medications that cause weight gain and maybe eventually obesity and perhaps diabetes. The pharmaceuticals are ABILIFY and olanzapine both of which are strong anti-psychotics. I have heard that for weight loss, it is a good idea to eat small meals more than three times a day. I hate being overweight, but my genetics, milieu, and actions have dealt me a bad hand to use a poker analogy. No, I do not believe in conscious gambling.

My whole legal name is James Pate Williams, Jr. I was born in LaGrange, Georgia approximately 70 years ago. I barely graduated from LaGrange High School with low marks in June 1971. Later in June 1979, I graduated from LaGrange College with a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with a little over a 3 out 4 Grade Point Average (GPA). In the Spring Quarter of 1978, I taught myself how to program a Texas Instruments desktop programmable calculator and in the Summer Quarter of 1978 I taught myself Dayton BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) on LaGrange College's Data General Eclipse minicomputer. I took courses in BASIC in the Fall Quarter of 1978 and FORTRAN IV (Formula Translator IV) in the Winter Quarter of 1979. Professor Kenneth Cooper, a genius poly-scientist taught me a course in the Intel 8085 microprocessor architecture and assembly and machine language. We would hand assemble our programs and insert the resulting machine code into our crude wooden box computer which was designed and built by Professor Cooper. From 1990 to 1994 I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from LaGrange College. I had a 4 out of 4 GPA in the period 1990 to 1994. I took courses in C, COBOL, and Pascal during my BS work. After graduating from LaGrange College a second time in May 1994, I taught myself C++. In December 1995, I started using the Internet and taught myself client-server programming. I created a website in 1997 which had C and C# implementations of algorithms from the "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by Alfred J. Menezes, et. al., and some other cryptography and number theory textbooks and treatises.
