Post Thanksgiving, lessons learned.

This week has been rough.  Combine that with water retention and so forth and you get a bad weigh in.  I am glad at this point we are not announcing our weights online till Christmas.  This week I am recommitting to log EVERYDAY what we eat.

I've had a good eating week. Yesterday we ate with friends and it was good and I ate too much. Then they brought out red velvet cheesecake from the cheesecake factory and I've been wanting to try that for years and I did. I'm glad they didn't send any home with us. It was good, but did not live up to the cheesecake factory hype. Maybe because it wasn't fresh... or maybe because I'd made my own home made cheesecake the week before and it was real good. I tried to eat less this week and monitor my intake. Thanksgiving made me a little lax. Plus I feel really good with the weight I'm at. I can't believe that I let myself get up to 260 lbs before. I fooled myself by saying, "oh, it's just because I'm getting more musclular" or "It's because I've moved and the gravitational pull is different in this part of the country" or "250 isn't bad for a guy who's as tall as me." What a load of bunk! Weight does matter and being healthy does matter. I like my new/old weight for a lot of reasons. Number one is that it makes me happier to have more energy to interact with my family.
