So, right now, I weigh 215.2 lbs. That’s down from the beginning of the year at 233, but it’s up from my low weight of the year at 212. The new job, and finding a sustainable schedule for working out/eating right has been tricky, but the consequences haven’t been as dire as I’d suspected.

Still, I’m definitely in worse shape than I was, and I’d like to correct that. So, starting today, I’m focusing again on eating better and getting regular exercise with the goal of being down to 200 by the end of the year.

I’ve found that when I weigh myself every day and log it, I can actually watch what I eat because I don’t want the number to go up. When I don’t, I don’t care all that much. It’s a small switch, but a critical one for me. Without a strong external motivation (beating Klay is *excellent* motivation), it’s also hard to stay focused. It’s just a matter of willpower, and the desire to change. On the plus side, it’s clear that once I hit my target weight, I can actually eat a reasonable amount without gaining that weight back.

Ah, well. Time to focus.
