A funny fact

Is your second toe longer than your big toe? Mine is. This is known as "Morton's foot," and 33 percent of people have it. (I wonder how they got those stats, because I do not ever remember anyone asking me that question... but I got this stat from a Runners World mag, so it must be true).

Also from Runners World magazine,
"The Myth, you can 'make up' weekend splurges. The truth: the two S days reprecent about 30 percent of the week, so too many slip ups will put you on bad terms with the scale. Case in point: Dieters in a 2000 study dropped pounds during the week, but stopped losing weight on the weekend because they ate too much. 'By feasting on whatever you want on the weekend, you'll cancel out five days' worth of healthy eating,' says Felicia Stoler, R.D. nutrition coordinator for the New York City Marathon.
When it comes to shedding pounds, consistency is key. 'Aim to consume a similar number of calories on Tuesday as you would Saturday,' says Stoler. She suggests weighing yourself Friday and again Monday. 'Any weight gain is a sign you shouldn't have eaten the extra slice of pizza.'

Is that a sign? I had been wanting to buy a running magazine for a while to learn more about this new love I have found. This article about losing weight had a lot of information I have already thought and pondered about. Remember my post from a few weeks ago where I challenged myself to not gain over the weekend (for the first time) well, I think I will make that challenge to myself and to you again. It is hard to get annoyed when my scale isn't going down, because I DO have the knowledge and the ability to make it move. If I don't use my tools in my tool belt, then I am being a moron and need to stop whining about not losing more weight.

I guess I'll try that... not whining thing, and just do it.
