This has been a very good week. Halloween came and went without ruining my discipline. Last night there was this quarterly get together with a bunch of guys. We call it Guys Movie Night and it includes dinner and watching a movie then talking about it. These kinds of meals out always present an opportunity to get carried away. Last night I went in knowing I didn't want to blow a week of good behavior...and I didn't. That is very satisfying. I allowed myself a little indulgence but was totally aware the whole time of the risk of losing control. By the end of the night, I was very happy with how things went. Later this morning is my weekly weigh-in. Last week I hadn't lost any weight but my fat percentage had dropped by one point. This week I think I'll be really, really disappointed if I haven't lost weight. It feels like I've stepped things up and made some adjustments in order to make that happen. I have to remind myself that the scale is just a measuring device. If the measurement isn't what I expect, I simply need to make further adjustments. In my addictive past I've abandoned all hope when the measurement wasn't what I wanted. That's the self-destructive choice and I hope I'm healthy enough to avoid that, even if my weigh-in doesn't go as planned. Here's yesterday, and remember last night was a bit more than normal...
