Day one was bad but not so bad.

Big binge was three empanadas that my wifes God mother has made. Phenomenal and worth every bit of setback they might have caused. We ate an apple in the car plus a small box of Turron that someone had given us for Christmas.

Once we got to Boston around 3:30PM I had an English muffin with butter and cheese and then rotisserie chicken with about four spoonfuls of rice pilaf for dinner.

Not interested in weighing in yet. I need to stick to my little routine of 3 large glasses of water, 100 pushups and the 250 crunches for sure.

Christmas in Boston

So I decided to weigh myself to late this morning. Usually I weigh myself minutes after I get up (4:50AM). I go to the bathroom, before I have anything to drink stand on the scale. Today I made the mistake of waiting for an hour or so and had coffee and three large glasses of water--big mistake. I weighed in at 181. Ugh. It confirms that I need to drop at least 10-13 lbs as soon as possible. Seeing that number in print makes it even more of a reality. Hope to get through Christmas without more damage.
