A little better

227.8 this morning.

I'm making a pact with myself: I'm only allowed to drive to work once per week (that's one round-trip via car, so if I drive in, ride home, ride in, then drive home, that's my weekly quota). Even if I take the bus, I'll still be forced to at least get on my bike & ride at least a few miles. We'll see how that works.

Another weight-loss possibility is to limit my meals to the worst I can find at the Microsoft cafeteria. The food is so indescribably shitty overall that the nadir is literally unpalatable. The other day I got what was optimistically described as "sweet and sour chicken". I think they'd scrounged through the garbage for thrown-out chicken originally served in some other form, marinated it in ketchup, microwaved it and served it. I don't know why I thought it would be OK but it sure wasn't; I don't often throw away food (which is what got me where I am today) but one bite of that sludge was enough.
