Ragamuffin Top Challenge - Week 13

Sorry, but there is no video this week. Also, it is not week 13, but that is what Carlos put on his post. So, I am just going with it.

The last two weekends we have been on vacation. First, we went to the lake with some friends. Then, we went camping with Kim's family. Vacations are not good for my weight loss challenge because I take a vacation from all the measures I have put in place to lose weight and maintain my new weight.

The worst part that vacationing twice so close together is that the bad habits settle in. This morning, after the two weekends of bad habits, I weighed in at 213. That's up 3.5 pounds from my lowest weight, 209.5. It doesn't take nearly as long to put it on as it does to take it off.

So, starting today, I am back on the horse. This week, at least Tuesday through Saturday morning, I am going back to no sugar drinks and no snacking. I plan to weigh in on Saturday morning, but after that there is tailgating and football.

I have to admit that it has been challenging today to stay on track. I drank pretty much only water today and the only exception was some grape juice at lunch. The snacking has been kind of hard today, too. I think because I burned up a lot of calories, when I rode my bike to and from work, which has made me hungry.

I made the decision to get back on the horse while driving home yesterday from Savannah, but then tonight, I found out some good news, which gives me more incentive. Jeramie, who had also dropped the ball recently, is also getting back on track. He posted tonight stating his new goal. You can check that out here. Hopefully, with my renewed vigor, I can help him in his endeavor.

I hope you all will join me in supporting him and continue to support me
