163 - I am suspending weighing for a while
I knew today that I would have backslid some, and I did. Lots of pigging out this week, and a significant loss of devotion to fruits and veggies.
I’ve decided to stop weekly weigh-ins for a while. While I set a poundage goal (150 by next Christmas) and plan to keep that goal, this process has been more about trying to change bad habits and establish healthier ones. Specifically, I wanted to:
-
Exercise at least 4 times/ week (This has been my most successful one.)
-
Reduce portion sizes, or to use another term, stop “pigging out.” (This one went well for a while but has been going by the board recently.)
-
Gradually increase my intake of fruits and veggies. (I’ve done better here, but still am working on it. THere has been some backsliding in recent weeks, but on the whole I am accomplishing this.)
So since this is more about overall health and healthy habits, and since the weighing has been more of a discouragement than encouragement over the last few weeks, I intend to suspend weigh-ins for a while and focus on the the big THREE goals above, especially the portion size thing.
Thanks for all the encouragement, and COLIN< WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU?

Hi John,
29 Billion dollar write down, egg donation and a gutted basement with no access to the elliptical trainer might be on Colin’s mind lately. I can’t speak for him, and I have asked him “Have you posted lately?” to which he answers “no”. But I can say that he’s been doing really well in the eating category and he looks good to me. I’m not sure why he’s disappeared… maybe you should give him call!
