Not so bad

I figured weighing myself this morning would be OK because if I got a little discouraged I wouldn’t have to worry about fitting into a nice outfit and keeping up appearances around an office full of people.

I weighed in right at 165.0. And that was after some coffee and before I did my morning weigh in ritual (if you know what I mean). After a couple of weeks of pretty poor eating and exercising, I’ve only gained about 2 pounds. I’ve been hard on myself because what I describe as poor practices now, don’t compare to the way I was. Poor is relative to how great I had been doing.

I don’t have too far to go to repair those damages.

I’m going to have to learn how to work in an office and not let myself go. Two out of the three days I went in to the office there was celebratory cake for some reason or another. Over the next couple of months, on top of the high frequency of birthdays and new babies, we’ve got the holidays to contend with. I ate more candy over the last three days, because of Halloween spirit, than I have the whole year. I’m really going to have to strengthen my will power and ability to say “no thanks”.

I’ve got some painting to do and definitely need to get in my workouts over the weekend. The only thing I plan on indulging in this weekend is pumpkin seeds!
