Ok,

I am going to blame this on the fact that I have added a strenght training program to my routine along with working on my running, and that I am building new muscle, but I am up this week to 268.5. I gained one pound since last week.

Peace,

Chris

Not playing...game over... at least until next week...The last few weeks have been nerve racking and I have been under the weather...I have been eating everything in site, which made moving easier as I ate our couch and love seat....

So I made a deal with myself...not to freak out over the gained weight and starting next week, I will get back to working out and eating right...But this week I have to clean out the old apartment and all the crap that comes with that, my stress level is high and my time to actually workout and think about proper diet is low. 

Weight this week

199...aaaaaaaaaaahhhh...

weigh in:

today 122.6

last week 124

I buckled down this week, logged everything I ate, and kept it under my alloted calories except for 1 cheat meal. Now if I can just keep it going I might finally reach my goal. It's not gonna happen this month though.

I don't usually make menus-I do pretty well at individual meals..it's the sitting around that you mentioned that kills me, so yea, thanks for the advice-that will be my new goal for the coming weeks-to keep myself busy.

 My other problem: after dinner I crave sweets uncontrollably.  I feel like it's more of a behavioral thing because growing up my family had dessert after every dinner.  Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?  The best I have done is to eat a 60 cal fudgecicle as a substitute for a big bowl of ice cream

Chris,  If you are gaining a pound a week in muscle ...I want to know your workout.  More than likely it is water.  Have you been drinking more?  You better be.
