I am walking and bike riding. Not a lot, but more than I was last year at this time.
Most of the time a dinner out has servings at least 2X the appropriate size. I have learned to ask for a box when they bring the food. First, I still don't leave anything on my plate and second, I have lunch for the next day already packed and ready to go. Works for me...usually.
