269.5

Lets hope that number keeps dropping this fast.

270.5

Looks like I'm on th right track, moving down pretty fast now.

272

Feeling good.

273

The best part about having kept this blog (even if it's been fairly inconsistent) is that you can look back on the reality of things and not fall for your own misconceptions.  I felt good having weighed in at 273, but didn't realize that this is the lowest weight I've gotten to this year.  It felt like just another few pounds lost in my ever fluctuating weight, but the record shows slow but continuous progress. 

For the first time in a while, I'm back to counting calories, while keeping up with CrossFit 3 times a week (and trying to get in some cardio on the off days).  Obviously that isn't too hard, but it's really about the mental state I have to be in to get all of this lined up and going at the same time.  That's really the key.  I'm fully aware of what works and what doesn't, but I'm not always able to keep myself doing the things that work. 

No matter how good it feels when you have everything going in the right direction, it's still hard to keep yourself doing that.  Not sure why that is such a common issue for people.

274.5

I've been on the road a lot since the last post, spent 3 weeks in LA and took a few days in Washington for Jenny's b-day.  My weight jumped up to about 282 at the peak of all that, but it has been coming back down.  Finally back to CrossFit.  I was going 3 times a week without fail before the LA trip, but have only been about 3 times in the last few weeks.  I also got sick after the Washington trip, so there have been a lot of distractions, but I think I'm back on the right track.
