Snacks and Boredom

It's no coincidence that the diet (and life in general) becomes boring right about the time I hit a consistent string of weight losses. That's normally a sign that I'm doing something right. Which itself is a sign that I'll struggle to keep the weight off after I've reached my goal. Thankfully, I've found new and interesting snacks to make my boring afternoons a bit easier to handle. Pistachios, baby! While one of the healthier nuts, it's also probably the tastiest, in my opinion. Not to mention you burn a few calories while shedding the shells.

I skipped the gym again tonight due to a lingering back issue. It doesn't look like I'll get a workout in until this weekend. I plan to take a 20+ mile bike ride. Thanks for the various comments, friends. It's nice to get some encouragement regarding my mini-plateau. When I've lost 15 of my 30 pounds, we'll start to plan the victory party. Adam suggested smoking a whole pig. I'll be interested to hear other suggestions.
