Weigh-In Day, Week 10

Starting weight: 270
Current weight: 255
Total pounds lost: 15

I gained weight this week.  I am not happy about it at all, but I know why it happened.  Remember last week when I ate badly and slacked off on the workouts?  Well, I think it caught up to me this week.  Also, the night before the weigh-in this week I went out with my friends and had a little too much to drink.  I know alcohol is full of empty calories and it also makes you retain water, so I am sure that didn't help any at the weigh-in.

I feel disappointed in myself and I feel like I let a lot of my hard work slip away.  I need to get back on track and get my butt in gear this week.  I am trying not to be too hard on myself, but it's hard.  I still have so far to go until I reach my ultimate goal and to gain even just a little bit of weight takes me further away from that goal and it's frustrating.  I will also admit that I hear about people doing the Biggest Loser contest who have lost 40 or 50 pounds and I can't even reach 20.  I really want to make my goal of losing 30 pounds by the end of the competition but at this point, it may not be possible.  I only have until April 2.  It's really time for me to haul ass.
