Week 20

I have come to the conclusion that I have very little will-power when the temptation is staring me in the face. This week we had a Halloween pot luck lunch at work. Basically this is an all day grub-fest. People bring in donuts, bagels, and muffins for breakfast, all sorts of cookies, cakes, chips, and dips for snacking, hot sausage, meatballs, kielbasa, wings, sandwich rings, etc... I tried to resist, had a small bagel with a little cream cheese, then a couple hours later I saw cinnamon rolls the size of dinner plates... and the wings, and the hot sausage, and I love meat balls... Yeah I grazed all day. I bet I ate 4000 calories... Oh well, I did it. I enjoyed it! And I moved on. Thursday I was back on track. As long I don't always surround myself with food, I will be fine!

Anyway, I have been very consistent with the gym, and haven't missed a day in quite a while and feel really good, physically and emotionally. It still surprises me how much of a better mood I am in after the gym. I leave there and I just feel great.

Also it is now noticeable that I have lost weight. More and more people ask about it, and I get a lot more "double-takes" from people I haven't seen in a couple months. That really helps keep me motivated.

Down 3lbs this week. I was glad to see it after staying the same last week. I am getting closer and closer to the 299 mark...
