This pass week was TOM and I normally gain a few pounds for a few days and then it goes away. Well, after two days they were still there. Not only were they still there they had invited friends! So my weight one night was 189.6lbs. Yikes! No to make anybody feel bad but 190 is the weight that scares me. It says to me hey you're not to far from 200 and beyond. I told myself that I won't go back there and I don't plan on it anytime soon. So, Saturday I went grocery shopping for good foods for the following week. It's day 2 and I'm doing okay.

I had a slight slip last night. I will blame it on my mother for instilling in me to never let a bargain pass me by. So in the end there are two pints of my favorite Haagen Daz Caramel Cone ice cream in the freezer. I had a few spoonfuls, okay heaping spoonfuls last night. But what made me feel better is this morning I was 185 lbs. again and I had a killer work out at the gym.

This morning was the first time back to the gym in a little over three weeks. So, I plan to take things slow. This week will be nothing but cardio. I am doing this because I think I have made weights my copout from doing cardio. That and I have to start slow because the reason why I started to not go to the gym this last time was that my body was so sore that I couldn't move well.

I will make a strong effort to stay on track. I don't anticipate any job related drawbacks in the next few months. So maybe I will be able to lose about 10lbs. We'll see.
