Check-In with McConnell - 11/23 and Thanksgiving

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. For the first time, I didn't record a loss in weight at my check-in with McConnell. But, I didn't gain, either, so I'm not upset in the slightest. I still feel very good about my progress (according to their scales, I've lost 22 pounds since I started, somewhere around eight weeks ago). Of course, the first gain may come next week, what with yesterday being Thanksgiving...

Thanksgiving was spent with Amy's family back in Massillon. As always, food was delicious and plentiful, though I did my best to eat well. We played cards much of the afternoon, and I played crosswords and sudokus while the family gabbed along before dinner.

I got my higher intensity workout in on Wednesday, but skipped yesterday, and will probably skip today, too. It's just too darned cold to go out for long.

Diet Update

Breakfast 11/23:

  • South Beach bar

Oops! I forgot to eat lunch! I had two clementines and 24 oz water when I got home, but completely forgot about food until Amy came home at 4PM! So, I had 3 oz carrots during the drive toward Massillon.
