My body is fighting me really hard to get through to the 302 mark, much less 299. I weighed in Saturday morning at 204.6 after eating fine on Friday. Weird and frustrating.

Saturday, I helped some friends move all morning and worked up a good sweat. Things were going just fine. My nutrition was okay, sans the two big homemade cookies and Barq’s Root Beer I had while moving, but I figured I could dial back my nutritional intake the rest of the day and come out ahead. That was all fine and dandy and going pretty well until about 11:00 that night when I hit up Applebee’s with some friends… and had a burger, fries, and beer.

Well crap. or so I thought. I woke up Sunday morning at a svelte 303.2 – the heck?!

And to make matters even worse, I ate right spot on all throughout the day Sunday, even refusing to eat a single thing at Red Robin after church. And my weight in this morning? Back close to 304. Bah.

PS: Go read this article: Seven Keys to a Successful Body Transformation – it’s a really good overview to things. My favorite line(s): “When you turn on the TV and come across a show about weight loss, you’ll see a lot of crying, hugging, and syrupy-sweet one-liners about having a positive attitude. Well, fuck that. In the real world, successful people get pissed off…Now, how does a self-pitying whiner deal with discomfort? He quits. How does a guy who’s willing to be an asshole deal with it? He gets ticked and fights through it. And he wins.”

So, I’m not going to sit here and complain about things. I’m going to go home, cook some chicken, throw the sandbag around, sweat some, and win.
