My out-of-control eating continues, and I know I need to rein it in. Crap, I have to get my discipline back! As soon as I am back from Dallas I am going to spend two weeks on my intense program to reset.

Day 813
I had a great day yesterday, if you do not factor my eating into account. I was initiated into a brotherhood that I have been working toward for a few months, and it was exciting. I did not know what to expect from the evening. It was incredible… but I was nervous-eating all day, and I drank after the meeting (with some of my new brothers), and the bottom line is that I weighed more this morning than I did yesterday. Grrr.

Day 812
I was really displeased this morning when I discovered my weight was up from yesterday, despite eating well. I suspect that it was leftover from the previous day’s cheating. I thought yesterday morning that I got away Scot free. I was wrong. Groan. I am hoping to get back on track with the weight loss tomorrow, but this evening I am being kidnapped. I cannot go into detail, but I honestly have no idea what to expect.
I’ll see you all tomorrow.

Day 811
I went to pieces yesterday evening, and I do not know why. I ate, and I ate, and I ate… I was convinced that when I got onto the bathroom scale this morning I would have gained four pounds. It was a wonder that I did not gain. I did not lose any weight, but not gaining was a relief.
I was pleased with one thing that I did yesterday; I walked to and from the supermarket, a 5km jaunt. It was my longest measured walk in quite some time, and I am happy that I did it. I told Leslie today that one of the things I am going to need to do is to get moving again. With spring upon us I have no excuse (other than time) to not get outside for my exercise walks.
I am doing better today than I did yesterday, but the day is not over. I am hoping to go to bed without falling off again. I am going to speak with my wife for a bit after class, and then I am going to try to sleep early. I took Her Floofness out for a walk right before class, so I should be able to hit the sack at a reasonable time.
Have a great day folks!

Day 810
As I expected and feared, my weight jumped again this morning. I will pay more attention to my eating on those teaching days, lest I never get back on track. Now I have to fight to drop back below 280 again.

Day 809
I was not happy when I stepped onto the scale this morning and realized that I gained 1.8 lbs. from yesterday. I was also not surprised. I went a little wild last night, and I cannot do that and expect to not gain weight. I am not sure I am doing better today, only because I ate a late lunch, and so I am now preparing my dinner for the end of my class. I should not be eating at 9:00p… but here we are. I will remember to plan better for the rest of my classes.
I only realized this morning that next week will be ‘one of those…’ a week that I am teaching a class during the day, and then from 6-9pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am glad to see that there is a clear light at the end of that tunnel, as Saturday morning I will be getting onto a plane to see someone I have not seen in far too long; actually, there are two people I have not seen in far too long,.. it should be quite a trip!
Lyle it coming over tomorrow during the day for cigars. Actually, we are meeting at Costco, and then we will come back here. It is always great to see him.
Have a great day folks!

Day 808
This morning was the first time that my weight dropped below what I weighed the day before I flew to Cuba. Sometimes travel can be like that… I had expected with all of my walking (and almost no snacking) to lose as much as five pounds, but with the three travel days, plus all of the pasta and bread that I consumed in Cuba, I am happy that I broke even. My first two and a half days back in Canada I did not do myself any favours, but yesterday I did pretty well. I am still at 277.4 lbs., but that is better than … well, more.
Yesterday morning I devoured the rest of the challah from Friday night, and while I should not have done that, I am going to give myself a pass… and will not be buying a whole challah anytime soon. After that, I ate reasonably. I will try to do the same today.
My plan is to go see my buddy in the afternoon for a cigar or two. After that I will come home for dinner and will try to be in bed at a reasonable hour. I find that the earlier I am in bed, the less tempted I am to cheat.
Have a great day folks!

Day 807
Thursday I spent most of the day relaxing. I do not think I even touched my computer, but I did post a quick blurb to my blog. Yesterday I did do some work on the computer (not a lot) but I forgot to post, so this morning I posted a one-liner to retain my streak.
Saturday morning!
Yesterday I was disappointed by the weight gain, if not surprised. Yes, Thursday evening I overindulged. Frankly, I did last night too… I ate half of my challah after class. If that is going to be the only cheat I have in a day then at least I should do it before 9:30pm. Nevertheless, this morning I was pleased to see a reversal of the gains from yesterday morning. If I can get through the rest of today with no more cheating then I have a chance to be back on track.
Yes, I bought a challah yesterday. They did not have any of the small rolls, so I bought the regular sized one. It is not really big, but it is too much for me to eat in two sittings… which I did. Yes, between yesterday evening and this morning’s breakfast the challah is gone. I will try to not buy any more rolls for a few days.
My new shirts and sports jacket arrived on Thursday, and I was happy to wear them (one shirt with the jacket) last night for class. The jacket might have been a bit tight, and I look forward to losing ten pounds so it will fit better.
My plans for the day include a haircut at noon, and then after lunch Eduardo is coming over for a cigar. It will be great to sit with him. I think Lyle and I are getting together tomorrow, and it will be good to see him as well. The weather is really picking up, with highs through next Sunday ranging from 9° through 15°… and while the overnight lows are still cooler, they are not scheduled to drop to 0°, so things are really looking up for the end of winter.
Have a great day folks!

Day 805
I don’t know if it was a conscious decision, but I minimized my computer time today. I’ll write tomorrow.
