It's a marathon and there will be ups and downs along the way. I may never get to my lowest low (165) but I sure ain't going back to 331 either! I have put in too much work in the last 11 years (April) to go back.

Appear to be back on track after a disastrous two months!!! Getting in my 10,000 steps at work. Going to gym 4 days a week for resistance training and more cardio. But even better it appears that I have my eating back under reasonable control, low-carb and no cravings.

Not going to do anything drastic but just eat properly everyday along with exercise-as a way of life and I know eventually the lbs will gradually come off. End of October to January always challenges me, and usually I feel guilty, become frustrated, give up and go back to my old bad habits. This year I just accepted it, did not sweat it, and got immediately back on program.

What really helped was having others on this forum who were so honest in reporting their weight-even the gains. It really helped me to understand that this IS a Way (weigh) Of Life! It is a battle, but a battle that I was not in alone. So thanks to you all, you had my back.

Don't know what'll happen tomorrow or even in the next couple of minutes-but right now "I'm feeling good!" Thank you!

My weight is back to a normal range that varies 2to 3lbs weekly. I had been up a lot pre Xmas but things gravitated back to normal on their own.

Exercise is good so hopefully work will be fruitful in 2020.

Since the Jets were never in it, the next best thing is the Pats are out. Looking forward to their long term demise.

Cheers

Last week: 184.6

This week: 186.4

Uh oh! Not good but the ride continues.

Congratulations to both of the Houston teams for winning yesterday in nail biters. The Houston Texans and the former Houston Oilers aka: the Tennessee Titans. Looks like Tom Brady may, I said may, be hanging up his cleats. Rumors still floating around about Jason Garrett and the Cowboys parting ways. Contract expires January 14th and if it's not renewed it is the same as firing him without coming out and saying "You're fired!" He'll get a "gimme a job" job in front office. Speaking of coaches scratching their unemployed butts - Joe Moorehead is GONE from Mississippi State after two years. Be interesting to see who comes in next.

Go forth and have a GREAT WEEK!!

Last week 253.5

This week 256.1

Last two weeks have been "Sweets Overload!" All of us on the job have said it is enough and threw out all the extra cookies, cakes and candy!! I really envy those who have no problem whatsoever with the food before them but I am a food addict and like an alcoholic "If it is there I will come!"

Starting today I am back on high-protein, low carb, Intermittent Fasting and exercise. Gonna be a tough 3 days to start (3 days of no carbs gets the cravings out of me-also the Keto flu!) but I'll have to pull through it and get back on track! No use getting bummed out or bemoaning the fact I've gained 10 pounds since my low under 247 in October. Hmmm, what can I learn from this? Just goes to show that it is a WOL and we all have to stay accountable and keep working the program.

I've REALIZE NOW that I've become complacent at around 250 lbs, once I noticed I was having trouble getting and staying below it, I just accepted it. But In looking at 600 lb life "Where are they now?", Dr Now made it clear that it really all comes down to HOW MUCH we eat, so regardless of exercise, I.F., low carb, high protein, I need to cut down on the quantity and eat less. So I've made a new goal to get to 220 lbs, recording my food each day, eating less food with more nutritional dense properties, and exercising at gym in tandem with my walking program.
