Weight: 202

I’m very sure why my weight is up today. I ate like a gluttonous pig yesterday and I did not exercise. Well, I take that back. I did a tiny bit of exercise in shoveling the eight inches of snow off my sidewalk and driveway. It was a snow day yesterday and I let myself rationalize eating badly. I thought since I was leaving work early I would get in some exercise in the afternoon. I did leave work early but it took me two hours to get home (it normally takes me 20 minutes) and when I got there I didn’t feel like changing my clothes and making the effort.

I’m in a, “I’m never going to get this” mode right now. I have two choices – 1. Feel sorry for myself and never reach my goal; 2. Love myself and do what needs to be done to get to my goal. I felt like choosing door number one earlier but now I think I’ll choose door number two.
