The Yo-Yo

Things have been good. Really good. When I look at my weight loss progress and compare it to other people’s weight loss progress, I’ve done really well. I don’t mean to be arrogant, but the fact remains that I’ve read numerous people’s weight loss troubles and have been extremely blessed in that I’ve consistently lost weight week-to-week. I didn’t have to write those post doldrums about how I ate so much pizza that I gained a few pounds and that I’d do better next week.

That ends today.

Why haven’t I posted lately? Well, I’ve had some problems. I hit the 50lb loss mark a few weeks ago and have had horrible eating issues lately.  I had a workshop at work last week where lunch was provided, and it was horrible. An extreme deviation from healthy eating. I haven’t watched my points because I’ve been scared of what it would result. I’ve said at the beginning of every week, “I’ll do better this week”. Only to eat just as horribly as I did the previous week.

The only saving item is that I haven’t blown my weight up to dangerously. I Yo-Yo’d around the 220lb mark, and I’m still dancing around it. For you guys that don’t know, I want to hit 200lbs…in fact a few pounds less. So another 20lbs is going to be dangerously hard to hit if I keep eating like I had. I’ve also not ridden my bike as regularly as I could have. I’ve had some big family things come up, as well as events that I’ve attended that has precluded me from riding. It’s beginning to wear me down.

So, for all of you people that liked the fact that my posts tended to always be pretty rosy, I apologize.  And for all of you that have read my posts in disgust that I was always loosing when you might be having trouble, here you go. I want to say: I’ll do better, but after over month of saying this…if feels like just words now. But that’s what this blog is for, maybe by finally telling you all, I’ll actually do what I have been telling myself for the past month. Thanks.
