I Screwed Up

For the past month, I disappeared . . . not blogging and not losing weight. I've been pretty good but Thanksgiving and my birthday celebration and a hole lot of other excuses have left me yo-yo-ing within 3 pounds of my bottom weight.

My running has been good. I now do a long run of 3.3 miles and a typical run is a 5K (3.11 miles). Today, I did my 5K in 27 minutes 40 seconds, a personal best for me.

Yet the real thing is that I have been sloppy about recording what I eat. I start the day off well, continue on through lunch but rarely finish what I start.

Well maybe the real thing has been how anxious I have been at work about a number of deals that have gone south. I came so close to having a blowout period but nothing worked. That left me frustrated and eating.

It's hard for me to see $55000 evaporate so quickly.

Creeping Anxiety

I've known about the trip we are taking tomorrow for months yet, like always, I became anxious the later in the day it got.

Work kept landing in my inbox. I was already behind and more and more kept arriving. Because I will generally be offline tomorrow, more will be waiting for me.

Arrrgh!!!

And I am sticking with normal eating and not getting crazy. As of this morning, I was down eight pounds and my food consumption is in the hands of caterers this weekend.

I'll try to stay calm while staring at the buffet.
