Well, not so much progress today...

I didn't sleep last night. I mean, at all. Not a second. Stayed up all night. Had a meeting at 11:30 this morning. Now, I am not a breakfast person, but my meeting didn't get done until after 1, then I had stuff to take care of...what it comes down to is, I didn't eat breakfast, I didn't eat lunch, now I don't want to eat dinner. Too much stress, not enough sleep=no appetite for Byron. Blech.

12 oz coffee, with raw sugar.

Lunch

12 El Sabrosos Salsitas chips

Weekly weigh in tomorrow....

Pretty sure I am screwed. Had a few rough days this week, being busy and out and about. HArd to stay on track, so I think I will see a weight gain. But, I did pretty good today, logging a LOT of walking, as well as only going over my diet slightly, even with being out and about all day. So, we'll see. If I gain, that just means I have to kick back into high gear to recover lost ground.

The first month...

Weight record:
329.8 lbs-2/1/2010
324.4 lbs-2/5/2010
323.2 lbs-2/6/2010
323.4 lbs-2/7/2010

320.6 lbs-3/2/2010

As you can see, my first two weeks went slowly, and were completely derailed by Valentine's day. I had been slipping back into my old habits already by then, but that day was the final straw. I was at an event that day, as a vendor, and my wife was performing, so I ended up watching the booth. I had expected to be able to go out for food that day, but what happened was I got stuck there and ate the choice I had available to me, which was hot dogs. Then of course, it was the chocolate and candies and a big dinner..I was headed right back into fatland on the calorie express.

I decided I needed to join WeightWatchers. Again. I lost 50 lbs with them last year, over a period of about three months or so. I kept that weight off for 9 months, until illness and job loss, combined with stress, put me back to gaining weight. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention lack of will power, or rather, failure to exercise it.

No More. I will not allow fat to control me. I will be around when my daughter has children, I will be healthy, and I will not let the flab beat me. With hard work and a bit of luck, by March 20th, I will be under 300 lbs for the first time since 2003. That will reverse 6 years of weight gains. Worst case, I can see it maybe taking until the end of March. We'll see.
