As in, “Not a Weight Win.”<\/p>\n

Well, it’s not so bad as all that. But after a very diligent (if ineffective) August, where I started weighing myself daily and ended up at 199.7 lbs., I had an extremely slacking September when I weighted myself very rarely and ended up at … 199.5.<\/p>\n

Huh.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Actually, that’s even including a week-long business trip (with the deadly combo of Many Meals Out and Sitting On My Ass All Day). So the results aren’t bad — and there’s still a downward sloping trend line (blue), though I’ve missed my goal of 185 by the end of last month (purple).<\/p>\n

And I’ll note two other things: first, the bars there are actually very close together (5 lbs.), which is an easy variation with water retention, etc., from day to day. So I don’t worry — too much — about that spike at the end, which is exaggerated by being the only weigh-in in two weeks.<\/p>\n

Second, I’ve been below 200 for two straight months. Barely (barely!), but there it is. I consider that a personal victory.<\/p>\n

So what’s next?<\/p>\n

*sigh*<\/p>\n

“The price of waistline is eternal vigilance,” as they say. So back to daily weigh-ins, and back to the Geek Diet (counting calories). Yes, I said that last month, and didn’t. And you notice I have been not <\/em>watching my weight, which is a good sign (for me) that I’m aware that I’m not doing what I’m supposed to be doing. So a mental rap on the knuckles and let’s do better<\/em>. I have the tools, I just need the self-reminders and discipline. The story of my life, in many ways.<\/p>\n

At the very least, I’ve had the discipline to burden my reading audience with this stuff on a monthly basis. Thanks for being part of my diet process.<\/p>\n

Onward (and downward)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
