    Yeah, sort of a rock bottom situation for me.

    Yeah, only refined sugar. That and portion size are what I'm working on now. I was going to give myself one day a week to indulge in sweets, but I'm not sure if that will throw me off.
    I always give myself Friday and Saturday since the Mrs. and I are going out. I just figure that if I restricted myself completely I'd just hit that point where I started scarfing them down and overindulge. I haven't been as strict about it lately since i've been in the 161-163 range the last few months, but it worked when I was trying to lose.

    Wow, impressive. Overindulgence is my problem as well. Last week I ate 7 Twinkies in one sitting. One sitting!

Honeycrisp apples do the trick (until the season ends anyway), but I also eat a lot of grapefruits, pears, etc. Seems to give me the fix without knocking down a candy bar or ice cream.

    As far as the exercise, I'm on my second week of P90X3. It's a lot of fun. For the most part it's a great workout and the thirty minutes seems to go by pretty quick.

    Good job. I was at Fred Meyer today waiting in line and looked at the Butterfingers and said to myself, "Man I used to love those things." Then I realized that "used to" is powerful, and I no longer have a desire to sin.

    If you're going to cheat on your diet (forsaking it) you're going to cheat and say you made the goal.

    My lowest weight was about 190. A little after Thanksgiving, I went into "bulking" mode, which for me is eating whatever I want and lifting for longer sessions more frequently. I'm about ready to go back to cutting because I've put on too much fat. I haven't done my five rep bench for quite a while. I went to higher reps and I want to try it again, because I feel stronger, but I've been having wrist pain from overworking.

    Recently I crossed my legs while sitting. It's been a while since that has happened.

    It's so hard to get on track for me. I have to be one extreme or the other. Either I eat clean or I eat everything I can get my hands on. Starting again today. A long day of snowmobiling yesterday was quite the workout. Extremely sore today.

    I've finally reached the tipping point with my diet and weight. I eat at least two doughnuts or the equivalent in sweets every day and I always eat double portions at meals. I'm 5'10" and always have had a hard time putting on weight... until about 3 years ago. I'm at 188 lbs and want to lose 15 to 20. I'm dealing with an achilles injury so until that feels better, my focus will be diet. Today was day one without refined sugar and single portions. I'm miserable.
