Tracking my food intake consistently has been one of the keys to my weight-loss success so far, and the tool I consistently use to keep an eye on my consumption is the nutrition tracker on the free website SparkPeople.

When I biked home yesterday, I was challenged. The uphill grade of the ride, the relatively cold weather (this is Texas, come on), the wind which always seemed to be in my face.
