So between last wednesday and last sunday morning, I managed to drop all the excess weight that I put on over the holiday. it was great. After my workout sunday, the scale actually said my lowest number yet.
Of course, Sunday was Father’s Day, and everyone came over for a BBQ, and Monday I had leftovers from that for dinner and last night I went to the Yankee game and had some peanuts (everything else was fine that I ate) and beer (which makes me extremely gassy, but I’m not sure if that has to do with the band or not) and suddenly, I’m a couple of pounds over that number. Of course, it’s still a few pounds down from my last official weigh-in and the low number isn’t “real” or official (for a lot of reasons, which is why I only count the once-a-week weigh-ins), but still, it would have been great to keep that going.
And that’s my real problem. I can’t sustain the momentum. I’ve been exercising, being “good” food wise for most of the day, and then one meal blows the day for me. Or one day blows the week for me. And then I spiral downward, and let it go. If I could sustain the two or three good days I have in a row for a few weeks instead, I could drop some serious weight. But I can’t. And I’m hovering around this 50 number for too long.
