I've been watching my food portions more closely and consciously eating less (Thanks, Quinn). I cut out snacking on peanuts.

The result: I'm the lightest I've been in months. Weight is going down consistently but very slowly. It looks like I'm on a rate of -1lb/week. Better than nothing. Oddly enough, when I cheat (like the big awesome cookie I gave myself for having a good presentation at work), my weight doesn't go up, but I do experience Food Coma.

Feeling good in the gym. I mised 2 workouts straight due to snow/ice on the roads. I switched from 3x5 to 5x5 on single leg press. The added volume was a bit of a shock the first week I did it. Now it feels good.

Still tweaking my bike fit with lots of "Why the F didn't I do this 4 years ago??" thoughts. But, I'm having to re-learn how to pedal a bit. My goal is not to come out fast early in the season. Just relax and do a slow but steady focused build. (I really hope this works).
