I Broke 240lbs

So... for the first time in atleast a year, i broke through the 240lbs mark. I am now down to 235.6lbs. I am pretty happy about this because it has to be atleast a year since i was at this level. The fact i havent had any fast food during my lunch hours has probably helped alot. Also, when drinking, i have been limiting myself to only 3 drinks per night this week which likely also helped. Lastly, i have been doing my best this week not to snack after dinner, and considering on average this week i have only had one meal per day (dinner) with a few snacks (hashbrowns from DD or a protein bar) throughout the day, It seems that the weight is finally starting to come off. I will do my best to continue this trend going forward. For instance, i got my large iced coffee this morning with an order of hash browns, but instead of getting extra extra like i normally do i went with regular cream and sugar instead. Also, i have a protein bar in the car for when i go to lunch. I am pretty happy about this overall.

Smoking on the other hand... has been a losing battle this week. I think i went for 15 hours total without a cigarette but caved the instant i had the chance to have one. I will try again tomorrow... the plan is to wake up, take a shower, put on the patch... and try to ride out the rest of the weekend without smoking... then hopefully.. i'll be motivated to continue the work going into next week.

I didnt end up seeing my parents last night. originally i call to cancel because i was thinking i was going to work late, but instead i left work at my normal time and just went home. All i had for dinner last night was one Cheddar, Bacon, Bubba Burger. And i didn't have any snacks after the fact. Tonight, when i get home from work... i will be stopping to buy beer, but i will try to keep the amount i drink to just 3 or 4 beers. After dinner... i hope to work out for atleast a half hour, I have been slacking majorly on that this week so i am hoping i can start a new routine this weekend and carry it into next week. I am not quite sure yet what i am up to tomorrow. Part of me wants to put in some overtime, another part of me wants to clean the house, so, i will have to make a decision tomorrow morning as to what exactly i plan on doing for the day. I know sunday i am going down to my parents for lunch so we will see how that goes. Hopefully by then i am down another pound
