UMMM its fun. Look at it this way. Those chips were history whether you went riding or not. At least you burnt them off before you ate them.
Good point! :beer:

I find it funny that if I eat apples, they send me into a tailspin eating frenzy. Strange.... :blink:

Wow I didn't realize skiing burned that many calories since a good percentage of the day is spent sitting on the lift. I bet at Jackson Hole I burn the most calories due to the longer sustained pitch and vert...except for when I do my mad steezy speed groomer zoomer runs off the gangala..

I always lose more weight in the winter than the summer.
I think its because I tend to shovel sidewalks and ski a lot in the winter while soups are my fav food.
In the summer, I enjoy a stop at the DQ after a hard burnin bike ride :)

All in all, I come from a family of people with over weight tendencies, with the exception of my paternal grandparents. They were/are extremely active, outdoorsy people.
I don't work out, I just happen to have passions for stuff that keeps me out there doing stuff and burning calories.
