Woke up to snow again, what a
surprise. Loved the ride in. School’s out for the week so very few cars on the
road. What a pleasure. Technically, I should be losing inches as a result of
all
the shoveling, car cleaning, drudging through snow to get to and from the car,
even dressing is a chore. Layers of clothing, boots, jacket, coat, scarf, ear
muffs, gloves (sometimes 2 pairs, wet and dry)… Yes, I do believe all of this
extra physical work is helping the process.
But I also want to try and incorporate some daily calisthenics. I’ll try to do it before dinner tonight to see if the predictable appetite spike can be satisfied by dinner and light snack. Last night I did them after dinner and by 9pm I was so hungry that I had a bowl of cereal instead of an apple. I’ll monitor to see what works best. I can live with the spike as long as there’s a net caloric loss. But I am, after all, trying to maximize results. So learning what my body responds to best is important. In addition to my Target List Blog, this is also a well documented self-case study. Note: I've adjusted the exercise calories because I think I gave myself too much yesterday.

Also: I get weighed monthly – pretty
much the same time each month. Next visit: 3/13/14.
I’ll include results in that day’s post.
