Getting ready to head over to my mom's for a Memorial Day cookout! Carrie and I took the bikes out this morning and rode for about 8 miles. It took about an hour and was a lot of fun.Weighed myself this morning and was 223 pounds. I've lost five pounds in the last few days. Woot!

So today is the first "real" day of Calorie King for me.I started logging food yesterday, but didn't do very well - I was almost all the way up to 2000 calories before dinner even started. But that's mostly because of all the bread and olive oil I had with lunch.
This morning got off to a good start. For some reason, Carrie set the alarm almost an hour earlier than we usually get up. So I lay in bed for a few minutes, and willed myself to get up and go for a walk/jog. I ran ...
