Inconsistent Workouts

I need to start getting up at 6am and working out regularly again. It just doesn't happen if I don't do it before heading in to the office.

Rather than committing acts of lung pollution, I've been eating. The SO and I tend to eat something a little special (Thai, Pizza, Indian, or some other calorie laden food) on homecoming nights. That happened on Wed night this week instead of Friday night. And, of course, a great Thanksgiving gathering added a few calories.

Up 3 week over week. More importantly, 3.4 over the trendline and uptrending .4 in a day. That's ugly. I was once a man on a mission. I am now a man distracted.

Additional comment: The treadmill says the workout today is the best calorie burn since Dec 31st.

Maybe I win today, maybe not

Have a cold-- stuffy, sore throat and achy. Finally making progress.

Actual weight-loss 3.6. More realistic trend-line loss is 1.3 which indicates I ate about 4500 calories less than I burned this week. That's about right. No lung pollution for three days now.

Last week.

OK. Here's my report. Third column is actual weight. The trend line in
the fourth column shows that I'm just turning the corner on some
serious negative momentum.

I need to start making progress. On the upside, I actually worked out this week again. On the downside my cardio is weak-- especially my lungs-- and I'm still way, way behind where I was in March.
