  9. Continued Analysis • Changed exercise routine in October to afternoons due to schedule at home. This has allowed me to exercise more regularly. • Still doing other selected solutions • Will graph progress again at the of course and see If there has been continued progress

  10. Final Analysis • My weight stayed fairly constant. This could be due to my muscle mass and age • This period of time is from Oct 8-Nov 24 • The days I did not exercise were rest days • When I started running in the afternoon I could run more consistently during the week • I went to see a dietician about what I eat I am currently making modifications to my diet

Final Analysis • I am going to continue to run in the afternoon and continue with my current full exercise regime • I am going to modify my diet to see if it will help it has already made a slight difference as seen as the red at the end of the control chart on my weight • I am going to continue doing both of these things and hopefully in a few months I will reach my goal
