A very busy summer full of nearly 80K miles flown and 100+ days spent working on the road since June 1 have made it extremely difficult to remain committed to the process. Now things have begin to slow a little bit, I've began to raise my own awareness of how important it is to log food and drink every day, and make a conscious effort to walk more.
June and July were a weight loss disaster, as I ate and drank my way through close to 60 days on the road, including a much-craved double BBQ meal day in Kansas City, that must have left my body asking WTF. In August, I went to France for three weeks and came back eight pounds LIGHTER than when I left. It must have been the fact that I walked an average of four miles per day, every day I was there. I also ate far less for most of the trip than I do at home, so I have tried to keep that going. Since August 1, I am down 11 pounds and feel like I am in the correct frame of mind, but having trouble executing the exercises. My doc says I am more on track, but would like to see better results. The key is to log my food each meal, and then see where I can cut carbs and fat. Also, I need to watch late night eats after work, and limit myself to one beer instead of three.
I've set a goal of losing 60 lbs by March 15, and I am 11 pounds closer today than I was the last time I posted in this blog. Time for a hike...
