Days Till Goal: 13
Pounds To Go: 3.8

Not much to report on the health front. Things have been a mix of good and bad in the sense that I’ve been super busy with work this week and so haven’t been to the gym since Thursday. On the good side, I’ve been watching my food like a hawk (with the exception of today’s allotted Sunday cheat meal – mmm, french fries), and so the numbers have been dropping.

I see the numbers going the right way again, and it makes me frustrated that I let an entire month go by without making an forward progress. Well, all I can do is let it serve to be a good reason never to let that happen again!

And in a turn of less than fun news, it looks like the big external motivator (as my biggest motivator is all internal – my drive and goal to get healthy and not friggin obese and gross) about the July 4th goal is fizzling at the moment. So, in one sense that sucks, but all I can do there is take any disappointment I feel and turn around to fuel the fire. I’m taking out the negative feelings on the weights at the gym this afternoon.

For my money, that’s the best way I’ve found to get rid of the stress and anxiety I can tend to carry around a lot – pump up the angry music on the iPod (I ought to share my workout mix sometime) and pound the weights.

Stay strong this weekend, FAT! And for those of you raising to win the Ocean’s Eleven challenge – keep at it!
