Day 177
Sep 14 2009 12:07

Wow... I had to figure out what day I was on... it was hard...

So I took 103 days off of the site... on my own I managed to skim 189 lbs and maintain myself at 190 for a while. I stopped weighing everyday, because that will drive one to anorexia, in my opinion. When I hopped on the scale this morning I liked to have died, though.

7 lbs had crept on somehow... I didn't really notice it because all my new thinner clothes fit fine. The jeans and pants and things all fit well, and getting looser. I'm sure it's some freak water weight or muscle mass growth, but it still bugs me, you know?

So here I am, back on track.

I'm not going to reach goal by the goal date... I just can't see me dropping almost 40 lbs by then. It's not in my cards. At this point I need to start figuring out maintenance. My birthday is Halloween, and then we have Thanksgiving in Novemeber, Christmas in December, New Year's in January and Valentine's Day in February. The next five months are hell... though I did some of my best losing Jan-Mar of this year, so that's neat, at least.

In general, I've learned some great portioning rules for when eating around people (and delicious food). I have PGX to fill me up, and have also acquired ECA stacks to help when I go over a little... (Yes, I'm aware they aren't the best for me, but greatness requires sacrifice and I smoke a lot anyway.)

Well... I'm back... Wish me luck, yo.
