Two years ago a three day weekend would have been spent with a mixture of reading, playing video games, going to the movies, and of course going out to eat unhealthy food on all three days. What wouldn't have been included in those plans...exercise of any sort. In reality I might have ended up taking some sort of exercise (20 minutes at the gym, maybe a short bike ride) and using it as an excuse to eat even more unhealthy food.
This weekend, it was running on Saturday followed by biking on Sunday. Monday may include a trip to the gym or kickboxing depending on when I get back in the evening. I've said it before, I'll say it again, it's weird to have a whole series of healthy hobbies. Still managed to get sunburned today, which is at least a little unhealthy.
For my bike ride I rode the Blackstone River Bike Path for about 17 miles:

Beautiful ride along a great path, but it did start to wear me out. I've got no idea on how many calories I actually burned on the ride. The Garmin projection seems really high, but a search online gave me some estimates that seem more realistic (about 600 calories per hour).
Food today: egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast (300 calories), no lunch but I did have some cheese, a small sourdough roll and a granola bar as snacks during the day (300 calories), dinner was salmon, rice and green beans (1000 calories). Exercise ended up being about 900 calories worth.
Today's Results:
