I've been enjoying the symptoms of a cold/flu bug that's been going around. Just the symptoms mind you, I refuse to succumb to any invader- viral or otherwise. That's just the way I am. I've stuck to my exercise regimen despite feeling like crappy crap-- which actually makes me feel better while I am doing it. Icky-ness returns when I stop which makes me wish I had some sort of hamster wheel in my office just to keep the ick at bay.
And what a rat-ba$tard the scale has been this week! Oi feh! Wow- sorry. That's just the flu-like symptoms talking. I've been snacking a little more than normal this week- my wife went to a cookie-exchange party the other day and well, there you go.
I'm actually feeling better than I have in a few days and am regaining focus. My primary focus is going to be on what I'm eating and when. This time of year seems to throw off everyone's schedule and today I'm bringing back the sanity- or the insanity depending on your point of view. No more meals after 7pm (it's been as late as 9pm) and a more even spread- just like what was working for me in the beginning of this weight loss journey. Which makes me wonder why I tend to deviate from what's working when it so obviously IS working. Man, I am so complex. (NOT! Symptoms talking again.)
Kudos and thanks to all of you who inspire me to continue on (JohnisFit, ScaleJunkie, Fabulous@50, FatManUnleashed, and so many others).

The cookie exchange will be the death of me (or my diet at least). Mine was really bad because my wife actually hosted a cookie making party for the exchange so there were a ton of cookies being made right in front of me. And then one batch that nobody liked. Except me. Argh.
"I tend to deviate from what's working when it so obviously IS working."
Well said. I feel the same way sometimes. I catch myself a few days into the deviation, but sometimes a couple weeks.
