Back to Basics

It's time to get back to basics. I hadn't weighed myself in several weeks, after weeks of being stuck at 189. I weighed myself this morning, and you can see the results to the left.

I think the change stems not from estimating portions incorrectly (though I'm sure I sometimes do), but rather from a change in eating patterns. I used to spread my "heavy" foods out through the day, lately I've been saving them until the end. I need to not do that anymore. So, it's back to the basics.

Also, I need to get my ass back into the gym.
