Improving Weather

What a difference even a couple of weeks makes in the changeover from winter to spring.  Two weeks ago we were getting snow on the ground.  Now it's sunny and gorgeous.  Still a little cool (ie jacket weather) but really nice to walk in.  Unlike in February when taking the dog for a walk was a chore, now it's something to go out and enjoy.  Traditionally everyone starts their diets in January as part of a New Year's Resolution, but I can't see how that works well for most people.  You end up having to force yourself out into the cold, often with snow or ice on the ground.  Even with a gym, it still becomes a hassle to exercise.  Come the spring though and all of a sudden it's actually pleasant to go out.  Definitely recommend starting a plan now.

Food today:  light wheat bread, peanut butter and light lemonade for breakfast (265 calories), a grilled cheese on light wheat with light lemonade for lunch (460 calories), dinner was the traditional whole wheat penne, sauce and garlic toast with more of the light lemonade (1030 calories)

Exercise today:  another hour and 19 miles on the exercise bike (561 calories).
