I felt agitated this morning, knowing that I would not be working out today. How cool is that? I have a dentist appt. this AM that I will carry my lunch hour for (since you can't take sick time except in 4 hour increments, but you can take vacation time in 2?) so I won't  be able to sneak off during the day. My nights are kind of limited since I get off between 5 and 6, so if I went and worked out it would be another hour not home.

Incidentally, Savage Garden came on the radio tonight and I actually didn't want to kill them. Stress relief from exercise, perhaps?

Here is my progression for the last 30 days. You can see when I started actively going to exercise, since just monitoring calories for the first month didn't do a whole lot. I try to keep myself at around 1950 a day, which, according to various BMR calc is about 1500 less than I should need to maintain myself in the low 300s. Doing just that I was gradually dropping a pound or so every week and a half. I also switched scales in there (The little red star around the 6-7th, and found that the one I had been using was 'off' compared to a three beam scale at the gym)
