Well I reckon I need to clamp down on my weekend and holiday treats! This morning's weigh-in was a touch disappointing. My sneak weigh-in on Friday told me I was down another pound and a half. I must have un-done that and the previous loss with this past weekend's and holiday's shenanigans. I had friends down for the weekend, and we tubed and went out to eat, and had a jolly old time. A beer or two (or three, or four...) might have been involved. Same goes for the 4th.

Anyway, I ended up right back at my starting weight, which incidentally, is only 3lbs less than my heaviest weight. Back-story: About two years ago, I took off about 20lbs, and managed to maintain it for over a year. But over the course of the past year, it has been steadily creeping back on.

OK, back to now.

After the weigh-in, I caught myself trying to rationalize the gain -- maybe I've gained some muscle (probably true, but it wouldn't be nearly enough to weigh that much), maybe my muscles are still swollen from this morning's workout (again, maybe true, but the difference would be minimal), these jeans are heavy, I ate some salty stuff -- blah blah blah.

The fact is, I just need to reign in the splurges on the weekends. In addition, I need to amp up my cardio. I'm already working out 5 days a week, so I can only fool with the intensity. I'm also making a workout plan. Right now, I just do whatever I feel like, with no goals or way to keep track of how I'm doing. When I get my plan done, I'll post it here.

So far I have no fun plans for this weekend, and hopefully, it'll stay that way!

As always, you can see exactly how I slipped (hello, Carl's Jr.!) by peeking into my FitDay log.
