A New Beginning
Feb. 1st, 2008 07:40 amI was a very bad boy this week as far as weight-loss goes. I binged on candy bars, utterly failed to journal, got almost no exercise and even plowed through a big bag of popcorn just before weigh-in. It was, in short, a disaster.
I only gained 0.4 pounds. Sometimes you get lucky, but you can't stay lucky forever.
I've noticed the pot belly coming back. It never really went away, but it was shrinking down. I'm at 45 pounds down, which is about 20 pounds above my best weight.
My upcoming trip to Cuba gives me a nice threshold date I can use for goals. That being the case, I'm going to make it a finish line of sorts. I should be able to lose one to two pounds per week. Cuba is in eight weeks. I'm going to lose fifteen more pounds. Sixty pounds total by the end of March.
To do that I need to start exercising again (difficult in this cold weather, but not impossible once I get my sleep schedule back in place). Journalling my food intake has to become my new religion. Most importantly I need to stop and think before eating snack foods and avoid finger food at social gatherings at all cost.
No more negative thoughts. I will do this.
