249.9 pounds, - 0.8 pounds, - 83.1 pounds overall, 7.9 pounds to go to reach my goal of losing 20 pounds by January 1st. 

Yesterday was a great day. I followed the plan and lost weight again. I'm on quite a roll and I want to keep it going. I have less than 8 pounds to go to hit my goal for the month. 

Today is going to be more difficult than normal because I need to keep my eye on the ball and keep following my plan. I know this about myself, that after I make great progress I get complacent. I need to fight that tendency. I have to keep making progress before the Christmas feasting that is coming next week.

We'll see what happens today and what the scale says tomorrow morning.

Life On The Road Can Be Tough
248.8 pounds. + 1.2 pounds today, + 2.8 pounds this week,  - 84.2 pounds overall. I spent part of this week on the road for work. It is impossible for me to stick with my plan when I'm on the road when I have dinner meetings. The best I can do is to try to keep from eating too much.  I was in California and the weather was fantastic. It was wonderful to go from below freezing temperatures in Minnesota to temperatures in teh 70s and 80s. I was so hoping to go for multiple walks but didn't have the chance because I was too busy. All of this led to gaining weight on the trip. I'm just glad it wasn't more. I need to get back with the plan this weekend. I'm reminded that it is easier to stick with a plan than to get in it. Now I have to fight to get back into my plan,then work to stay in it.  How do you motivate yourself to get back into your plan?

Dealing With Travel Struggles
247.6 pounds. + 0.6 pounds today, + 0.6 pounds this week,  - 85.4 pounds overall. Traveling is fun, except when it comes to the scale. it is enjoyable to be in a new place, seeing new sites, eating new foods, but it can be really tough to try to lose weight when on the road. At least that is the case for me.  I find that I need to be realistic and realize that I'm probably going to gain weight when I'm traveling. Is this a self-fulfilling prophecy? Maybe. But it has been my experience, so why get discouraged when it happens?  I think the better strategy is to give myself grace, but to try to minimize the weight gain. That keeps me from throwing in the towel completely and thinking, "Well, I've already blown it so it doesn't matter what I do at this point. I might as well eat whatever I want." No, I can't fall into that kind of thinking. I need to fight the temptation to take a vacation from my plan. I can be realistic, but I can, and should, continue the fight. What do you do to fight the temptation to give up when you travel?
