It's been a bit crazy at work lately, and I've been pouring a lot of mental energy into solving some issues there instead of thinking about my own fitness. With my short-term weight goal achieved and a clear plan for my running, I haven't had the same drive I've been relying on to keep me on track over the past few months.
In other words, I've been a bit slack on the diet end, coming up with all kinds of excuses. The results are speaking for themselves -- a solid week-plus at more or less the same weight, with my trendline beginning to creep into the "gain" rather than "lose."
What's important for me to remember is that while there are numerous "go ahead and splurge"moments scattered throughout the holiday season, the only way to come out of the season with momentum is to treat each such moment as just that -- a moment. If I let them become habits I'm going to starting 2010 headed in the wrong direction.
I write this here, in public, because it's important to remind myself of these things, and what better reminder is there than this?
The situation at work is sorted out. The Halloween candy is out of the house. Distractions should be at a minimum for a week or two....
No runs this weekend; too busy doing yardwork and nursing back pain afterward. My back is a traitor to my cause. Weight this morning was up two pounds from my recent low and 1.5 pounds from my 2009 holiday maintenance goal.

The road goes ever on and on, whether you choose to get on it or sit on the sidelines. Here is where I write about my journey. (Fitness, travel, and family ... anything that doesn't fit in my "day job" blog)

I've decided I need to give up on eating in my car until after the new year.
