Day 88: Excuses, I suppose

I'm a little ashamed of myself. I haven't posted in over 3 weeks. This was part of the whole plan and I let this slide. That being said, the diet itself has not been written off. I am still keeping my daily calorie count low and I it feels like I am still losing weight, though not at the rate I was when I started.

One thing that has sufferend lately is the walking. It's been infrequent or abscent all together. It's an excuse, but true, this is the busiest time of the year at work and by the time I get home, I just want to sit and enjoy some quiet. That and I have a constant, strange popping in my right knee, which I believe is still from that drunken night in Miami. The walking is the #1 thing I need to remotivate on.

I did have a wonderful moment about a week and a half ago. Millie hugged me and her fingers touched in back of me (which, was something I was striving for). That made me very happy and has helped keep me from slipping much in the diet. While I have kept my calorie count low, it's been more through not eating as much and less through eating healthier. I'm still not garbaging up on fast food, but I'm not eating as many veggies as I should.

So that's where this all stands right now. Busy, stressed (don't even ask about the car accident) and ashamed. No matter what, what happens to me and how it affects my eating is down to my decisions. The blogging, I can't promise daily updates. Simply because of the schedule of my days. But I can promise to stay on top of it more than I have the last three weeks.

Thanks everybody for sticking with me. I am neither beaten nor slowing. I still have 100 pounds to lose by July of next year and I plan to keep that appointment.
