Weigh-in: Down 2 lbs. For the Month.
Conditions were ripe for a bad weigh-in, and I did not disappoint.
But, as my doctor said, “at least you didn’t gain weight and that’s good this time of year.”
So yes, it’s good. No, I’m not going to obsess on it.
I’ve been sick for about 2 weeks and continued to work long hours. I’m still eating much lighter, more normal portion sizes, the combination of exhaustion and illness led me to convenience foods rather than healthy eating. Dinner would be a handful of crackers rather than a chicken breast and a salad; breakfast was a bowl of cereal rather than an egg or some oatmeal. Oddly, I did fine with lunches. Packed mine nearly every day, just a sandwich and a piece of fruit. Snacking was limited to the one day we celebrated at work, when everyone brought in Christmas goodies.
My doctor also said I may have put on some muscle weight with the exercise I’ve done. If so, I’m good with that.
So, I’ll stick with the plan: cut portion sizes, continue to increase the frequency of exercise, and stay away from crap food. Down 22 pounds in 3 months. I can do better.
