I’m Finally Tired of My Excuses

Today’s Weigh-In: 357.2 pounds
Pounds To Go: 17.2 pounds
Days Till Goal: 27

The last couple of days have been a train wreck, and I’m not just talking about my eating (although I certainly did return to the land of fast food and Dr. Pepper, too). For the days after my wilderness night walk, I was left hobbling around like an old man. No blisters, fortunately, but everything from my hips to my ankles hurt.

I’ve sat around, grumbling at how I felt, doing nothing productive for work, playing Diablo II, and eating poorly. I treated being really sore as a pass to do – and eat – whatever I wanted. Instead, I should have told myself, “I’m not going to get to the gym for the next few days to lift or do cardio, so I need to keep my nutrition super strong so I don’t loose any ground.”

As it stands, I’ve lost any progress I’ve made the past week. In fact, yesterday I was up in my 359s in the morning, before I took control of myself.

Oh well, the past couple of days are, in fact, in the past. Time to get back to the fight. I’m still sore – mostly my calves, ankles, and skins at this point (rather than my quads and hammies) – so I may try and hit up the gym today for some lifting, or maybe wait until tomorrow.

But at least my eating will be spot on.
