210 - A lot has happened since October

I didn't realize it had been so long since I had posted here.  I had some physical issues (which I am mostly over now), had the holidays and had a new baby, so it's been a busy and distracting time.  When my daughter was born on 12/3/13, I didn't make it to Crossfit for the next 2 weeks, but I've managed to go once or twice a week since then. 

I think I was dehydrated before, so when my weight hit 202, that was kind of a false number.  I started having issues and one of the big things that has improved that is drinking more water, but my weight shot up about 5 lbs in just a couple days once I started drinking more.  I also loosened up my diet at that same time, so some of that could be inflammation or other unnecessary water weight.  But we'll see what happens when I clean the diet up and keep the water intake high, maybe some of that will drop back off quickly.  I've actually been quite happy with my weight holding at 209 to 210, considering my diet has not been great.  But it also hasn't been terrible, which is good.  One of the keys to keeping myself in shape for the long haul is improving my habits so that even when I'm "off the wagon", I'm not totally wrecking myself.

My plan is to lose 10.5 lbs in January, so I should be at 199.5.  That's a big milestone, and I got close at 202, but wasn't quite able to get over that bump.
