Happy Lowest Crime Rate of the Year Day! Historically, Superbowl Sunday has had the lowest daily crime rate.
Well, someone finally tattled to the scale today that I have been off-plan a lot. It was up a whopping five pounds from Friday! Today, I broke even on calories. I know it doesn't sound like a big deal and even sounds awful in the framework of dieting. However, usually on Sundays I am greatly above my calorie allotment. In addition, today involved both fast food and pizza. It shows I made reasonable choices instead of terrible ones.

Over calories just barely. I'd like to think maybe I broke even since I was out walking in 12 degree (F) weather today. Managed to stop my self from continuing to overeat. Come to think of it, I managed to keep my calories in check at lunch even though I really wanted to eat more.

Just saw an article about a study on a new drug to help with obesity. It works with the body's appetite control mechanisms. The average participant lost 20% of their body weight. Apparently, this is unprecedented for any obesity drug.

Had so much fun skiing, I almost forgot to post. I skied for four hours. I did great calorie wise, especially if you truly burn as many calories as they say you do from skiing (600 cal/hr).
Skied for a couple of hours this morning and then headed home. Calories are okay. Very please with my base line fitness level. I skied a total of 10 hours in the last 3 days and I am not sore. I definitely want to keep that up!
We are having below zero (F) weather here. It is strangely 15 degrees (F) warmer at the ski place. We'll see how the frigid cold affects our walks. I think it is suppose to be warmer tomorrow.

Doing okay today but may end up going over after all calorie wise. The workout at the gym was extra hard today.
I earned a little good Karma skiing. While I was on the chair lift, I saw a faint outline of something buried just under the snow that was quite possibly a cell phone. It was snowing steadily at the time. As soon as I got off the lift, I headed toward where I saw it to check it out. It was kind of hard to find because even more snow had fallen. I did find it though and it was indeed a cell phone. As I was digging it out of the snow, I heard a voice from above me. "Dude, I think she found your cell phone". I shouted back "Is this yours?" and the guy was like "Yeah!". So I stayed there until he came down to get it. He was really happy and very excited! His buddy was on snowboard and pretty much crashed into me. After he finally stopped he was sitting right on top of it . He told his friend to put it in a zippered pocket- LOL
No good deed goes unpunished- my decades old skis have gashes across them from the snowboard crash. Ah, well I think it was worth it.

I am quietly quitting my program. There are several things I use to do but just stopped doing and didn't even realize it. I need to figure out how to get myself to re-engage properly. I know exactly where I go over each day (calorie wise) and I do it any way. I start fresh every day with the best of intentions. When the time comes, my gumption is lost and feel like what I eat in that moment doesn't matter. It totally matters though. I am following in the footsteps of many failed dieters/life style changers that have come before me.

since you are the only person besides me that runs an individual thread, it has been easy to track your progress (or lack thereof).
i am not too surprised that you have opted for some kind of "re-set", given your recent struggles.
good luck for the future. hope to see you back soon and succeeding in your goal.
