Day Four Hundred and Seventy - Weigh in #67 - Christmas Candy

This Christmas season has been especially difficult for me.  I know that I need to avoid candy and sweets, but I have done a terrible job of that.  Sometimes we do things that we know are not best.  Like buying Christmas candy and putting it in your office.  Thankfully, I have no candy left in my office, and I am going to be disciplined and avoid buying any more to tempt me during the day.  I don't like disappointing weigh ins.  I need to remember that feeling and use it as motivation to make the best choice ahead of time. 

My weigh in was a surprise for me.  I fully expected to be down at least a half pound this week.  When I stepped on the scale this morning, to my disappointment I saw that I was up 1 lb.  This means that I have now lost a total of 156.8 lbs., with a current weight of 209.4 lbs.  It goes to show that I'm at the point of this journey that is two steps forward, and one step back.  I am disappointed, but at the same time I am grateful.  When I thought through all of the poor choices I made this past week, I realized that only being up a pound was actually a good thing.  Now it is time to focus and stay disciplined so I can finish losing my butter half.

My calories today were lousy.  I had too many snacks and unhealthy choices.  Pair that with not getting a ride in on the recumbent tonight and it makes for a poor day.  Thankfully I got a full run in this morning.  The best part was that the discomfort in my hip was barely noticeable.  I also went through the rest of the day without feeling any pain.  I was going to take time off tomorrow, but after this morning, I think I should be good to go.
