Yeah, I think that's what is driving me nuts in relation to the last four

weeks. It's been really up and down, where usually I stay within a pound or

two of my " happy weight " . Ah well. This week I wasn't that surprised...not

because I was off program or anything, but because I knew I've been having

fluctuations. I guess I also know that as I am pushing 40, there is

probably going to be a point where I might see a small gain as my

metabolism settles a little bit. I hope that doesn't happen for awhile!

Heck I went out and ran 7.5 miles today so I know I'm certainly earning

those APs!

Yeah, it looks HOT! I sure wish I could see my ab muscles. I know I have a

six pack in there somewhere...

Well unless the answer is my metabolism has shut down and I'm destined to

be a 500 pound runner who eats nothing but lettuce and multivitamins, it's

got to be the running and lifting. I'm not going to let it bother me

because I can't. I have to not play with points or anything else. I've gone

back to doing things the way I've always done them and if it means I gain a

few, but I know I'm healthy and can still get my workouts in and my clothes

all fit, I guess I can live with a few pounds.
