Weird weight loss...

I've been weighing right around 193 lbs.  for the last three weeks now and it's been frustrating (maybe it's because I was on a Mt. Dew binge for a couple of weeks straight).  Then, in the last four days I've constantly dropped weight and I just hit the 190 lbs. mark for the first time in over 3 years. Thanks Ragnar!!!! I actually think that playing basketball has helped shed the pounds. I play for 1 1/2 hours straight 3 days a week so I've got to be getting in alot more than the scheduled 5-miler on MWF. I've also noticed my speed pick up during my runs. I ran the 7-miler this morning and blazed through it pretty well.

 Running in this cold weather still blows and I'm still bent about the time change!!!

Man, I wish I could drop weight like that! I look at food and it comes back on... I was doing really well, had gone from 250-240 in the past few months... but then my wife and I went on a road trip and I think I'm at about 243... and that's with me going running about every other day.

Craig, I've noticed that if I miss a day running or exercising(excluding Sunday) that the weight comes off alot slower. The weeks where I'm not active Mon-Sat every day aren't half as good. Just working out for even 30 minutes will help boos your metabolism for that day.
