Measure Up Monday - Week 4

I was in training classes in Schaumburg all this week, learning to work with eXtensible Markup Language, or XML. One of the amenities of the training facility is a spread of free doughnuts, bagels, and muffins every morning. If that isn't enough, they offer cookies or ice cream during the afternoon break, and bring in a free Chinese food lunch on Wednesday.

The commute to Schaumburg helped me deal with the morning goodies. I barely made it to class on time each day, and didn't have time to sit around being tempted. I brought along some fruit to eat at the afternoon break, and exercised some control on free lunch day, so I didn't do to badly.

However, the weekend included a couple of family pizza gatherings, and a birthday party, so this morning's weigh-in had a level of suspense. But it turned out to be right on target with a 2 pound drop for the week.
