This morning I gained an obscene amount of weight. I am going to take it very carefully this weekend.

Day 1071
I did not expect to lose a pound this morning but am grateful for it. I doubt I will be so lucky tomorrow morning, what with my trip to Strathroy to see my godson and goddaughter today. I am salivating just thinking about the turkey dinner! I am still over the terrible mark, but I am not getting upset with myself over it this week. January 1st is the traditional day to begin diets, right? This will not be the beginning for me… but the resumption.
Have a great day!

Day 1069
My wife had very good advice for me today. She told me that I am stressing so much because of the holidays, and it might not be a bad idea to take a break from my diet (which has not been working anyways) until after New Years. That is not to say that I should go nuts and eat everything, but trying to stick to the severe plan has not only been failing, but it has also been causing me stress and anxiety. Thanks Leslie!
Tonight is Christmas Eve, and it is not a holiday for me, but I miss being with my family. I bought a nice veal steak for dinner which I will prepare later on.
Have a great day folks!

Day 1067
This morning’s weigh-in brought me back below the terrible mark once more… if only barely. I am hoping that my knee heals up soon so that I can get back onto the treadmill. I have not been anywhere close to hitting my steps-goal since breaking the streak on Monday, and my fitness watch has now adjusted my goal to 7,240 steps.
One thing is for sure… there is no way Princess Sophie and I are going to spend a lot of time outside today… the mercury read -15°C (5°F) when we went out for a very brief walk this morning, and despite the sunshine, the forecast high is still only -9°. We literally got to the end of the building when she signaled to me that the snow was painful on her little paws, so I picked her up and brought her back into the house. While she was not a fan the last time we tried them, I am buying a set of dog booties to try again. We won’t have too many days this cold, but still…
Have a great day folks!

Day 1066
The last couple of days I have not been doing very well, but I am trying to pick myself up and get back on track. It is hard… especially around the holidays. I wish I was with my wife. She and I got amazing news this week, but that is for the future, and we are still apart this holiday season.
I am going to see a buddy early this afternoon for a cigar and a chat. Hopefully that will cheer me up some.

Day 1064
I was not perfect in my eating yesterday, but I was not nearly as bad as I was the previous day. I was relieved, when I stepped onto the bathroom scale, to see that my weight dropped back below that terrible mark. After a horrible 5-pound increase yesterday, I was relieved to see a 3.4 lbs. drop back.
I was exhausted most of the day, so I was more focused on my class than on posting today’s entry. I look back on the day and do not think that I did well and will try to do better tomorrow.
Have a great evening, folks!

Day 1063
This morning I saw the largest single-day weight increase that I can remember, It was a kick in the gut, and a definite reminder that I enjoyed last night’s Christmas dinner a little too much. I do better today… but just the fact that I will not be eating cookies for dessert means I will be doing better than yesterday. I fell off the wagon hard yesterday, but it was a single day fall and today I am getting right back onto the horse. I do not know if I will be exercising today, but aside from breakfast (which is behind me) I will be eating smart today.
Add to the food, my steps-goal streak came to an end yesterday (as I knew that it would). My new best is seventeen days, and sometime in the future I am sure I will try to top that. That attempt will not start today, but that does not mean that I will not try to exercise. I just hope that my knee holds up.
My next huge challenge is next week when I go to my friends’ house for Christmas dinner. Until then, I have to be good… and get back down below the terrible mark that I shot past this morning.
Have a great day, folks.
