Everyday for the last three days I’ve gained a pound. I don’t think I’m voraciously overeating, but I’m also not tracking everything. So I guess it’s on me. Literally.

I got myself to the gym this morning. I didn’t want to go, I nearly fell back asleep. After all, it seems not to be having any effect on me, so what’s the point?

The point is to establish and maintain the habit for when I do finally start to lose weight again. I don’t know what’s blocking me right now (tracking), but once I figure it out (tracking), exercise will be an important tool to build momentum and keep me on target.

I start out well, then taper off toward the end of the day as I run out of calories. I don’t like being in the red.

I need to avoid the candy at work. It eats up a lot of my budget.

I need to think: I got up early and biked this morning for 20 minutes. Do I really want to undo that?

I need to keep tracking, even if I’m in the red every single day. Then at least I can tell the nutritionist I really tried to be conscientious.

Don’t fear the red.
