Yikes! Many months since my last weigh-in. I'm a little disappointed that I fell so hard off of the diet (the food component of my plan). Fortunately, I have maintained a fairly high level of physical activity, averaging somewhere around 50-70 miles on the bike per week, and about 10-15 miles of running each week -- those numbers would be on a good week of course.

Nevertheless, it has been a summer of bad (but delicious) food, and bad (but delicious) beer. It's hard to have much regret. I'm going to focus on the positive (the consistency of my exercise) and begin fixing the negatives (diet, diet, diet). On the upside, I'm still 12 pounds down from where I started on this last push from 235. On the downside, I've got over 40 pounds to go.

My new goal is to be under 200 by mid-January. That's a little over a pound a week, which I think is a fairly aggressive goal. It's certainly less intense than I was at the beginning of this program, but it allows for a little more freedom of lifestyle while continuing a steady weight decline.

If I meet my goal, I will then have the same amount of time (4.5 months) to lose another 20-25 pounds and I will be at my goal weight. That's a hell of a slog, and If I'm only around 190 or even 195 by the time I start training for the half-marathon (and possibly the regular too) in June, I'll be happy as a clam. The training should take me down the rest of the way from there.

Here's to beginning again in earnest: Good foods, consistent exercise, and the buoyancy to life that those choices bring.

Had a three-week vacation; on-off, basically three five-day weekends where I completely ignored my diet and exercise plan.

During this period, I indulged completely and utterly in whatever I wanted; I went out to eat a lot, ate terrible, fatty, and indulgent meals, drank a lot of alcohol, and only went for a few, brief bike rides (mainly to get around, not high-intensity exercise).

How do I feel about this? Fine. I'm seeking to lose weight, but I have no problems sliding back up the scale in order to indulge in my vacation, etc. I have gained several pounds because of this, and they don't bother me a bit. I am now resuming my diet, and despite the "setback," I'm fairly unconcerned with my lack of progress. The idea is battle down to my goal weight, and then maintain it from there; I have no illusions that my weight will fluctuate depending on how well I follow my diet, and while I realize this may be a pitfall, for right now I set a clear boundary on my vacation time. Exactly three weeks of indulgence, and now I will get back to the weight loss kick.

All things tallied, I'm actually surprised I didn't gain more weight!
