return to weighing 137# by April 30, 2008

Of course, given that I am still within the ‘medically normal’ weight range, I shouldn’t complain too much about these last ~15 pounds (although, following New Year’s, I had only ~7 extra…argh).

I think I’m going to start applying some good, old-fashioned Hippocratic advice to my eating habits: heavy food/weight gain is ok in the winter, as long as it is followed by light food/weight reduction in the summer.

[oh, and April is still ‘borderline winter’ in MN…]

Hippocrates was no fool.

I am not sure to what extent my late winter upwards weight fluctuations can be attributed to the bleakness of Minnesota winters, but each year I put on 7 to 10 pounds betwixt January and March. I use my treadmill a LOT, but I still overeat, and cold/bleak weather seems to stoke my bad behavior…

So…I am currently at 141#, whereas I was 134# just before Christmas.

[big argh]
