yesterday I was in some kind of weird funk I guess. That can happen when you work a week of Graveyard Shift. You just start feeling like a Zombie. But I woke up this morning and the scale now says “150″ pounds so I’m happy about that. It means I only have ten more pounds until my goal weight.

I am really looking forward to the holidays but the one thing that makes me nervous is all the food stuff. The holidays just seem to revolve around food. Lots of high carb, high fat junk food in ample quantities. What I would love more than anything else is to navigate this holiday season at 140 pounds and be able to indulge in moderation but mostly turn down an extra cookie… or NOT raid the fridge at 2am and finish off the last 9 slices of pie with whipped cream… those kids of thoughts. My wife loves to bake so the house is turned into a Den of Temptation during the holidays. I swear, every surface space is taken up with cake and brownies and cookies and pies. It gets very very hard for me during the holiday season but I am hoping that this year will be different. I will try very hard to enjoy the holidays for the friends and family and special events and NOT for the food.

The holidays are NOT about food. The Holidays are NOT about food. That needs to be my mantra.
