Weigh in: Annually static

190.4-->194.6-->192.8

I am exactly the same weight as I was one year to the day. Readings on my cyclometer and heart rate monitor suggests steady progress this past month, and I'm doing some of my longest, most challenging bicycle routes with noticeable year-over-year improvements. Weight ain't nutthin' but one number among several.

Weight lifting has been static since cutting back to once a week -- once again I can barely do a pull up. My legs, however, feel a bit more developed. Not worried about it.

For August, the top of the summer, I will continue on as I have in July, and maybe try to be conscious of my daily calorie counts, but I don't think I'm going to think too deeply about what I can change right now. Keep on keepin' on.

Kind bars are a commercial product, but it's really well done - mostly nuts, relatively light on sugar, well done seasoning, and though small, packs an appetite-stopping power. And while they're kinda stupidly expensive, they're relatively reasonable when bought in a box from Costco.
