I celebrated by going for a long walk this morning to try to shed one of my spare kilograms.

I suppose this means that the official kilogram cleaner at the BIPM in Paris is now out of a job.

I suppose this means that the official kilogram cleaner at the BIPM in Paris is now out of a job.

I swam laps for a long time (3x15 minute intervals) with intervening soaks in a hot spa.

Contemplated measurement and data collection while watching the warm water mix with the deeper cold.
