Well, first - I had an incredible time away, and I was greeted by an old friend who said, "You look great!" so that was really, really nice. We ate, we drank, we laughed, we played. It was like old times.
Getting home though, I realized that I put on quite a bit of water weight with the addition of the white flour carbs and high starch potatoes I ate while I was there. I should have made conscious decisions to make healthier choices - but I'm not going to lie - I really would do it all over again. That food was great.
Anyway, I'm set back a little, Just a little less than 9 pounds. Weight today is 239.2, and I'm sure that by the end of the week, I can get that down to where I was before I left. At least - that's my hope. I also picked up a book, from MensHealth, called the Abs Diet. So I'm going to do some reading there, and see if I can pick up a few secrets to those contributors successes.
Overall, I am happy. Sure, I gained back some weight, but it's not the end of my life. I'll get back on track starting today - and before you know it, I'll be back to losing again! :) My goal is to focus more on what I see in the mirror, less on what I see in the scale, and I'm actually making noticeable gains in muscle in my chest and shoulders. I plan on incorporating more weight lifting into my routines, but of course, that will be after I read and understand these books that I purchased a little better.
I'll keep you updated, of course!
