Over the last week a lot has been going on, mainly to do with fitness goals.

The following photos show an example of an outfit I wear daily to obtain about 6000 steps by 8:00 each morning and then another 4000 to 6000 steps by the end of the day. A total of 10,000 to 12,000 steps daily.

Yes, I am losing weight, however, the weight loss is not dramatically noticeable in the photos nor the following short video.

As the month progresses, I hope the weight loss will become more apparent.

One of the other things I wanted to do in March, was to move funds from one of my high yield savings accounts (AmEx) to a CD (this was done, as illustrated in recent entries in the Microsoft Money register I maintain for the account).

In late 2025, I noticed the APY rates on the AmEX high yield savings account were dropping. Earlier in the year, the APY was about 3.70% and by the end of the year it was 3.40%. Keep in mind this is still a great rate, however, I noticed other interest rates i.e., mortgage, the prime, etc. had also steadily declined over the same time period. I wanted to ensure at least part of the funds in the AmEx HYSA would continue to get the maximum yields for as long as possible.

The Excel spreadsheet data below, shows the APY rates on my AmEx HYSA since opening the account in 2022.

The first week in March, I also renewed my real estate license.

I hope to realize my fitness goals for March. This will be my primary focus this month. I also have a number of software projects planned, however, I am not sure when I will get to them.
