Goal weight by 12/20/11: 136


Well, I'm doing much better in the eating department the last several days.  Even on the 3rd and 4th, I didn't record, but I did do well eating.  Sometimes I just hate calorie counting, sometimes I don't mind it.  So I do on the days I don't mind, and don't on the days I do.  With the exception of periods of time I really "need" to calorie count to get me back on track, I think that's a good plan to just do it when it doesn't irritate me.

Even though I've gotten back to good, I really don't believe it's possible to get down tot 136 in 12 days.  I'm sure if I did low carb and low calorie I could, but it would be a lot of water weight, and the second I ate anything with carbs (and ESPECIALLY with Christmas just a few days after) I can see the rebound for that being HUGE.  I don't want to deal with a huge rebound, so not making it seems better than pushing too far to make it by that date then struggling for weeks to get back to that number -- which I think is a sure bet would happen.
