I have started logging workouts on mapmyrun again. That always enhances my maniacal tendencies and I need that right now .

I've also started going to the gym to work my other muscles too.
Usually in the colder months I gain some weight. Around here it's mild, but I'm a warm weather person due to being spoiled by the local weather. But with all the holidays and me having a birthday in the mix of the season, it's easy to gain some pounds. This year I got active early, made a better effort at avoiding that, and made it through the holiday season without gaining.

I've been more in the "change your day to day lifestyle" mode since deciding to drop some weight. I've never been one to like the ups and down, and more interested in long term changes.

Saturday I jogged intentionally for the first time in probably 20+ years.
