Continued being disciplined with my nutrition yesterday.

In mid-December, I had laid out a really comprehensive plan for not just losing the weight that I've put on in the past 3 1/2 years, but also to get myself gym rat fit which was where I was headed until mid 2017 (life goals - be able to run 5 miles, swim 2 miles, bike 50 miles, do a true pullup). The goals are about double where I was in 2017 (run just shy of 3 miles, swim a mile, biked 20 miles and still feeling good, etc).

I immediately began ignoring the plan to enjoy "Body by Christmas Cookie" in a haze of post-Thanksgiving empty carbs and fat. The climax is always Nicole/Genevieve New Year's tradition of sushi, lobster, cookies and Swedish fish while watching the Shining. It's a strange tradition, but it is now home. We had a Covid exposure scare, so my daughter didn't join us which was disappointing but the three of us who were there had a great evening.

The downside of going rogue since Thanksgiving was that I literally could sense my handles getting bigger over the past month and a half.
Between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve, I managed to put on another six (6) pounds and my weight shot up to 307.8. That's 66 pounds heavier than I had been in May, 2017 when I ran my last mud run (241).

Over the past four days, I've cut my calories well below target and cut carbs down to a very manageable level. In doing so, I've dropped 5 1/2 pounds which I'm guessing is mainly made up of water and Nicole's ruggaleh and butter cookies (so freaking good....).

Maintaining my calories at between 1100-1300 is not sustainable. Especially, if I do what I'm supposed to and I'm working out 5-6x per week. At my size (6'2" large frame, age of almost 56 (Jeezus, I got old)) my body is supposed to burn 2500+ calories per day, just breathing.

However, I'm going to try to keep things low until I get myself to where I was before the March lock down (282). Goal after that is my August, 2019 low weight (269).

As I up water content and exercise my metabolism should start moving out of glacial three toed sloth speed to something higher. That will help, but dropping my calories too low will cause the metabolism to slow down. To avoid that, I have to be good about drinking a boatload of water and working out.

And the discipline to do that has been scarce for a long time.

Well, Happy Effing New Year - everyday is a new beginning and a chance to get things right. Time to start pounding h20.

Stick with it everyone, better days are coming.
