Weigh in, stumbles and routines

So I had my first stumble over NYE weekend.  I did overeat (not as bad as usual).  I didn't track as well as I could have.  It happened.  It's over.  I got back on track yesterday and moving forward.  This is something that would cause bigger issues in the past.  One bad meal led to a bad day, to a bad week, to a bad month, etc.  I have the motivation and the support to stay on track this time.  A stumble doesn't mean I'm out of it.

Another thing I re-learned over the weekend was, I'm a creature of habit.  Out of my routine, it's real easy for me to get off track.  We were in Chicago last Thursday and Friday (where I packed my own food for most of the 2 days), but again, outside of my routine.  Then the NYE party along with a family Christmas gathering on Sunday - out of my routine.  Not an excuse, just an observation.  I usually eat the exact same thing for breakfast every morning  (when I eat breakfast).  I can eat the same thing for lunch multiple days in a row.  Dinners can vary, but are usually derived of the same main foods.  This could bore some people, but I'm okay with it.


Moving on to this week's numbers:

Weight:  421.8 lbs
Delta from previous week:  +2.2 lbs
Total delta:  -6.8 lbs

Neck:  21 (0 inches)
Chest:  58 (-1 inch)
Belly:  60 (-1 inches)
Waist:  54 (0 inches)
Cumulative delta from previous week:  -2 inches
Total delta:  -6.8 inches

So my weight was up a bit, which to be honest bothered me more than it should.  I can take comfort though in some of the redistribution of my body weight.  Two more inches lost means losing fat.  That's a good thing.

I received a text on Monday from a good friend asking me why I haven't posted recently.  This is why I feel I will be successful this time around.  I have more people involved.  People that are willing to reach out and ask me what's going on.  This is a good thing.  On another note tied to blog posts:  I have decided to not post my daily meals here anymore.  I track them already on myfitnesspal, and if I hold myself to plugging them into two places, I run the risk of saying screw it and not tracking in any places.  If you're truly interested in what I eat, please sign up for myfitnesspal (it's free) and add me as a friend on there.

Thanks again for everyone's support!
