Two Bits

No, this is not in response to "Shave and a Haircut," nor does it equal a quarter dollar, but I'll take it.  I'm just posting two items of decent news.

First, after two weeks or so of doing "nothing" toward losing the flab, I got on the scale and weighed 4.5 pounds less than the last time.  So the tub-o-lard is down to a measly 285.9.  We'll see how long that lasts.  Heh heh.

Second, I just heard from my friend, who herd on NPR (so it has to be true), that weight gain can be linked to lack of sleep.  THAT'S where I went wrong.  I haven't slept regularly, or even enough, since oh...um...(elevator music)...uh...probably junior high.  In college I prided myself in being able to fully function on an average of two to three hours of rest.  I could really accomplish a lot without closing my eyes.  I guess my waistline did, too.  Hey! Hey! Hey!

Still, I subscribe to the cliched adage:  In college you strive for good grades, a meaningful social life, and enough sleep.  However, you're only allowed to choose two.

So instead of working out more, I'll just take a nap instead.
