Friday I experienced a little, tiny step backwards. I played golf again, early in the morning. Because I didn’t want to wake the family, I ate a power bar in the car and stopped for a coffee. Then, for dinner we ate a frozen pizza (I know, I know) and some fresh fruit. Afterward, I felt totally crappy. Then I realized that I hadn’t been logging my food for the day and had probably been eating too much crappy food. So I went back through the day and tried to input everything that I put in my mouth. I’m sure I underestimated a bit, maybe even forgot to put a few things in the calculator. I’m glad I forced myself to do it. It was such a pain in the butt, maybe the “punishment” will help me stay on task for a while.
I was feeling so good all week, and it only took one day of unhealthy eating to remind me that my body likes being treated well. All weekend, I did a good job of tracking my calories and eating well. I even got 12 miles in bringing my weekly total up to 25 miles. I ran 6 on Saturday morning with Pam, and then another 6 on Sunday morning with T. That’s a really good running week for me as my current goal is to get 20 per week.
The weight is slowly coming down again and I’m a happy and motivated guy!

There is nothing wrong with a slip here and there. It is what makes us human. My problem in the past has been just saying, “Of forget, I am already in the hole from last night I might as well keep going.” It is hard to get that thought out my mind, but at least if I recognise this as a problem then I can confront it. That is the plan anyway!
awesome – keep it up – none of us are perfect!
