Weighed in this morning at 156 pounds.

The past five days I've been camping with some friends. We rode our motorcycles from Southern California to various campsites in Arizona.

I left Saturday morning at 155 pounds and gained only 1 pound over that whole camping trip.

And I didn't necessarily diet during the whole time. I drank a lot of beer, but only ate a moderate amount of food. In fact, none of us really gorged. There was only one evening when I ate a lot of food, and that was at a mexican restaurant in Sedona, AZ.

But I tried to make sure I ate something early in the morning, to get my metabolism started. Also, the whole trip was cold. Even though I had on a weather-resistant riding jacket, and a pair of thermal underwear, I was still cool, not warm. But my hands, were achingly cold.

Anyways, I think the cold temperatures throughout the day and night is what kept my metabolism burning fat.
