By conscious decision, I don’t post about the fluctuations in weight as I go through this ongoing process of altering my eating habits and lifestyle. I only post the pounds lost, not the occasional pounds gained back.
And I don’t obsess about them either.
For instance, during my four days of assimilation orientation with The Borg, they fed us three meals a day. Unfortunately, by the time we got to the cafeteria, most of the salads were gone, and they treat mashed potatoes, rice and gravy as a major food group.
Plus, I went out for beer and wings a couple of those nights. When I weighed in Friday morning here at PGHNSTRACH, my weight had ballooned back up to 304 pounds.
No worries, though. Go back to healthy eating and regular exercise, and the pounds will disappear. At this point, healthy eating is becoming a habit, and it’s harder to eat like a pig than it is to eat in moderation.
This morning, I stepped on the scales and weighed in at 297.
For those of you keeping score at home, that’s 65 pounds lost, in 3 1/2 months.
Yay me!
