I first saw 231.2 on July 2. That means I have wasted three months, or my whole summer. I fully expected to do better over the summer since I am usually far more active. But, I guess the other thing about summers is that I have a lot more things going on. Not sure if it was these events - vacations, weddings, graduations, nights on the river drinking beers and eating pizza - or that I got complacent. Maybe I was too happy with 230. Maybe it's that 230 seems to be the weight where I really start to get compliments. Maybe I felt too much of a sense of accomplishment after only reaching part of my goal.
My biggest concern is that I wanted some momentum heading in to the end of the year. Those last six weeks of the year around Thanksgiving and Christmas are notoriously difficult times to be good. But, I have given myself no cushion.
In the end, I am proud of the 50 pounds I lost. And, I am still a little bit happy that despite my lack of focus and diligence over the last three months, I have managed to not gain any of the weight back. That is a good start. But, I am not done. I am not content. Hopefully, the lack of temptations that the next couple of months brings will be enough for me to get it back in gear.
Here's to the winter...
