Since my treadmill-based running has been intermittent, I think the bigger contributor to all the gain would be the holiday-based eating, on top of sitting around like a big lump watching Netflix and DVDs.
Or a better rationalization I just thought of! My body could be preparing for the trip to Chicago which is much colder than Austin around this time of year, therefore, I’m packing extra blubber in order to survive! I wish.
Stress is more likely the culprit yet I hope to get it back under control and into the upper 220 territory before the year ends.
I just thought some of my friends who share geeky, math-oriented observations would get it a kick from what the scale showed.
