In an attempt to inject variety into my routine I have inadvertently kicked my own ass. I guess Leandro Carvalho and some Turbo Jam have kicked my ass but I feel I have to take some responsibility since I am the one who hit play and danced around like a madman.

I recently had a chance to weigh myself and I have to admit, I was disappointed. I am trying not to let it bother me too much since I am infinitely happier, health-wise, than before I started this, uh, program (it's not a diet, it's not an organized system with an infomercial...what do I call it? "Journey," I guess). I have been changing my eating habits, working out and generally trying to improve my physical life for about two months now and according to the scale at a friend's house I have lost about eleven pounds.
Now eleven pounds is better than no pounds but still.
And I know that my clothes fit like I have lost more than that so I wonder if my original estimate of my weight was a gross underestimate, which is not a cheerful thought either.
Anyhow, I am trying to not let it bother me.

Also in that category is the fried food I ate when I was in Philadelphia this last weekend. I have to say, eating almost exclusively greens and whole grains and yogurt for over a month does not prepare you for the deep-fried, insulin-blasting carbo-party that is travel food. (Vegan) pizza and french fries, chips and guacamole, tempura. Yow. It was tasty but I am glad to be back in my own kitchen. Tomorrow I get back on my bike if my butt will let me get near that saddle. I know somewhere around here I have the big couch-cushion that originally came with the bike that I rode before I graduated to a real one, the kind that tries to get fresh if you sit down too fast? Yeah, I am not looking forward to the reacquiantance period tomorrow however, it's been over a week since I have been on my bike; I miss it.

Anyhow, that's me.

To update:
Current measurements: still in the red by a hair, last time I checked, though I will officially update my measurements on Day of Rest coming up in a few.
Current weight: 256.2 according to a friend's scale in Philadelphia which is a completely different scale than the one I last weighed myself with many months ago.
