Regaining Control

I've lost control of my diet.  Between the wedding and the business travel, I've set myself up poorly for Thanksgiving (and more business travel the week after).  I let that loss of control lead me to the Halloween candy trough where I buried my snout and stuffed my face.  The more I write on this blog, the more I wonder if I've got an eating disorder.

Still, I'm back on track today.  One day at a time and all that stuff.  I make the best choices when I plan them out in advance.  I really need to develop a strategy for what to do when I'm hungry, and I need to do that when I'm not hungry.  I know the drill... "keep healthy snacks handy" but I just lost the will power for a bit to even be able to follow that advice.

I figure giving myself a more tangible short-term goal might motivate me to do well, so I've made a mini-goal for myself of losing another 10 pounds by my birthday - exactly 30 days from today.  To do this I'll be hitting the gym every day again and I'll need to stop eating all the additional calories I expend there. <crosses fingers>
