How Much Do You Weigh?

I weighed myself today on the bathroom scale. I weigh 191 pounds. Yep, too much. I should probably weigh 40 pounds less, so it's time for some of that to go. I doubt I'm going to lose 40 pounds anytime soon, but 10 pounds over the next couple of months is reasonable.

I'm going to do it the old fashioned way. No weight loss programs, weird protein drinks, or any of that. Just eat less and exercise more. Exercise more is easy, since with Spring here I'm outside walking more. Eating less is likely to be a little bit more difficult. It's amazing the number of bad food habits you can accumulate over the years. I'd hate to think how much I'd weigh if I didn't get some of the exercise I do get regularly even in the winter months.

Halloween Danger.

No, it's not weirdos sticking things into treats. No, it's not worrying about kids getting hit by cars as they canvass the neighbourhood. It's the danger to your waistline. Admit it, unless you hate candy you're going to eat some of stuff you bought, if you haven't already. And since it tends to come in mini packages it makes it easier to say "Oh, just one more won't hurt," and before you know it you've eaten the equivalent of two or three chocolate bars at one shot. So beware, or when next Halloween rolls around you'll be able to pull off that Dom Deluise costume you've been thinking about without padding.
