That Was Unexpected

I got onto the weight loss wagon back in September. I started the intermittent fasting silliness and I started making sure I closed the 30 minute exercise ring in my AppleWatch Activities app. I never stopped with the fasting thing, that’s still going on every day. The weight tracking thing fell away just before Christmas, as it does. My last weigh in was December 15th. The exercise thing temporarily ended on the day my father went to the hospital.

Yesterday was the day I officially went back on the wagon. I closed all three rings for the first time in over a week. My weigh in day was on Tuesday before, so I weighed in today…..

….and I was down six pounds.

So I stopped being careful with food and I stopped exercising and… I lost weight. Six pounds in almost two months isn’t all that much, but it’s still good.

I did not see that coming.

Room for Improvement

I did all right yesterday.  I had a small breakfast, a smallish lunch, a smallish dinner.  That’s all good.  I did have a snack after dinner.  Peanuts are on the Simply Filling approved list, but a serving size like I had is not.  I had way too much.  I need to stop doing that.

I also failed to get my fat ass onto the treadmill.  I must start using that bastard every day.  Every.  Day.  No excuses.  It has to become part of the routine.  I’m never going to be healthy if I don’t exercise regularly and that’s the only indoor option we have.  I could go outside, but COLD.  So… no.

My goal for today:

Smaller snack portions
Use the damn treadmill

I can do it.
