Photo from Edge Hill University Journal Entries and Rationalization
The MoneyWalker follows the blogs of several walkers including Roy Bayfield, a college professor at Edge Hill University in Ormskirk, Lancashire UK. He teaches Educational marketing and Brand development. His blog, “Walking Home to 50” chronicles his walks from the Northwest of England back to his boyhood home of Brighton. Besides his witty entries, he documents his walks with excellent photographs. In his recent blog he inadvertently provided one of the banes of walking for the purpose of losing weight—rationalization to overeat:
“I stayed the night in Horsham, a chilly experience - arriving in the dark, walking around wearing every layer I had with me to find the Malt Shovel, which turned out to be as nice a pub as I have ever been to. I had a pint of Surrey Pilgrim, figuring that I had earned it by walking through that county to arrive here in Sussex.” (Emphasis added.)Sadly, the MoneyWalker uses this excuse to overeat all too often.

Uh oh. I feel some guilt coming on for those post-ride/ralk caramel Milky Ways.
ReplyDeleteNumi, don't feel bad. Yesterday I hit my yearly low of 171.8 lbs. What did I do--pig out on a seven course dinner at a famous New Orleans resturarnt.
