Weigh In: 269.0
Five Day Average: 268.31

Ok, so the weight went up a bit today, but I'm not going to sweat it. First off, seeing 2 pounds fall off in a day (from 268 to 266) wasn't going to stick, so seeing it go up is no sweat. Secondly, I weighed in WAY early this morning, I had to get out of the house super early, like 5:30am early today to get to the gym and get to my final exam by 8am downtown this morning. So, not worried about the 269.

I titled this blog, "Now - The Hard Part" because this next week is going to test my loyalty to myself. My self control in an unfamiliar environment. I took my last final exam today, and starting tomorrow until the new year, I have no work and no school, as I took my last week and a half of vacation time from work.

I have no schedule.

Which sounds great - and it is - but that means no 'scheduled' lunch time. It means way too much down time where sneaking into the fridge would kill the diet. It means that I really - REALLY have to be adamant about what I eat, and I think more importantly - WHEN I eat it. And we're not even talking about the holiday parties that will be on-going for the next 7 days.

So, it's the hard part. But getting blow 270 was the hard part. Getting back on my feet after losing my footing a few times was the hard part. Getting under 300 was the hard part. Breaking my 21 day plateau of being at 330 was the hard part. Admitting that I needed help and had to start this blog in the first place was the hard part.

The GOOD part is that I've overcome obstacles before, and I'll do it again.
