Weigh-In Results

Spring Break, Woo!

As you may have surmised, I have this week off of work.  Today, that meant sleeping until noon and not putting on any pants until 3:00.  The rest of this week, that's going to mean cleaning and biking (probably not at the same time though).

This is my bicycle map of Minneapolis.  The green lines on the right are the rides I've taken this year.  Here's a better view:

As you can see, there isn't much green yet.  Probably due to the brutal winter we've had this year.  This week I'm on spring break and it's getting warmer.  On top of it, 30 Days of Biking starts on Friday.  There's going to be a lot of green added to my map this week!  Stay tuned.

It's almost April and my new 21-day challenge starts today.  For the next three weeks, I will be trying to stop my meals before I am full.  I will be satisfied without being stuffed.  I have recently read that a difference between people who are naturally thin and those who are overweight is that people who are thin naturally stop eating before they are full where overweight people keep eating until they are full.  I'm going to take the fake it 'til I make it mentality.

Now the only way to do this is to record how full I feel after meals.  Since I don't overeat during breakfast and lunch (because I pack a small lunch and only eat a bowl of Special K for breakfast), I'll be tweeting a number -one through ten- each day to report how full I felt after dinner.  My goal is to keep that number around six or seven for the next three weeks.  Hopefully, by then it will be a habit.  Today after dinner I was about a 7 out of ten for fullness.

It's Monday and weigh-ins are on Mondays.  Let's get down to business.

240.4.  I gained half a pound this week.  I haven't done very well as far as diet and exercise, but I'm not sweating it.  I'm pretty sure I'll be able to knock it out this week.  What kind of exercise do you think I should be doing over my spring break?

Oh, and stay tuned.  I'll be announcing another giveaway soon!
