This is what I look like now, after only 3 days! Awesome!

I made that last part up. That is actually Christian Bale in 'The Machinist'. Crazy movie if you haven't seen it. It's like the Jenny Craig program from hell mixed with manic depression as seen through the lens of David Fincher.

OK-not sure how I lost 3 pounds since the last posting. I really haven't done much except snack less and eat a little better. Trying to keep good groceries in the house such as salad, soup and eggs (protein). You know-this should be really simple: eat less and exercise more. I think sometimes I just have to snack (an oral fixation?), and sometimes (and the thing that gets me the worse) is snacking right before bedtime. Last night, I had a salad for dinner, then a bowl of Cheerios with fat-free milk. Did I need the Cheerios? Since we no longer forage outside for meals, in the hunter-gatherer sense, have I become lazy? The only foraging that we do out of the house, besides grocery shopping, is the nights out for dinner. Interesting.

Watched the debates last night and could have done sit-ups while doing so. Will plan on doing that tonight (just thought of it).

The MS 150 is in 10 weeks. Frisco to Fort Worth. Did it last year and it was great-would like to be lighter for this year's ride. Makes all the difference.

Anyhow, perhaps I should grab onto this 3 pounds as a (small) victory. Yeah, thats what I'll do.

See you soon.
