Argh...I hate it when I kill it and gain weight

Today I weighed in at 191.6 for a gain this week of 1.2 lbs...(-72.8 overall)

I'm writing because I'm frustrated. Mostly with myself of course, which is why I was fat in the first place. I worked out pretty hard this week...harder than most weeks to be sure. The problem however, is always ... ALWAYS - the intake. How much did I track this week? NONE.

You may ask, what is the #1 key to being successful on weight watchers? C'mon, you know it and and I know....KNOW that tracking AND not just tracking, but honest tracking is the #1 key to good numbers on the scale. Yes, I've had success over the last 39 weeks, but if you don't track what you eat and aren't accountable for every bite you take numbers will creep. And they have crept over the last 3 weeks. For instance...not eating 12 handfuls of trailmix and calling it 1/2 a cup (yep...I did that this week).

My goal 3 weeks ago was to lose 3 lbs. I failed. Although, I'm not going to worry about it too long.

I'm pissed at myself...what's new, but I'm going to turn that pissed'ness inside out and acknowledge a couple of the good things I did this week...

1. Took my family on a fun albeit quicky vacation to the Great Wolf Lodge (AWESOME!)
2. I did 4 P90X workouts. Yep....Shoulders & Arms, Legs & Back (WOW), Chest & Tri's & Shoulders and lastly Back & Bi. I don't think I've had so many areas of my body this tight at the same time.

What, you may ask am I going to do about all this? Because, I am a guy after all and every problem deserves a good solution. ;)

My goals for this week are as follows:

• TRACK my food intake - EVERY meal EVERY day online @ weightwatchers.com
• Run at least 3 miles twice
• Do at least 2 P90x workouts
• Smile and know I'm not perfect

I'm writing here because all of this was grinding through my head during the meeting today so much so that I didn't hear a word our meeting leader said, other than something about cumquats. I mean, have ANY of you eaten a cumquat? Ever?

Anyway, thanks for listening and have a great day.

p.s. Remember to love those around you.
