Drats! CGB uncovered my secret weight loss program. The fact is that since moving to Alabama I've had no difficulty keeping the weight off. It's not because I'm in great shape; the ubiquitous fried and sugary foods have seen to it that I maintain a fluffy cushion around my middle. I keep the weight off because I am perpetually dehydrated. And my dehydration is not for lack of fluid intake. I spend as much time consuming water and salty foods and I do engaging in all my other activities combined. Yet somehow all that water ends up in my clothes. When I undress in the evenings I can squeeze enough water out of my clothes to refill Lake Powell, and still there is enough left to replenish a couple dozen acres of the Sahara Desert.
Cross training the last couple weeks, as I have mixed in the laps in the pool and miles on the bike (including for speedwork) and I accepted an invitation to play basketball with some former students.
