December 01: 207.6 Not a good start.
December 07: 202.6 Burning it off with the unpacking from the move.
December 14: 203.4 Christmas goodies that I should be avoiding.
December 21: 206.0 Well, there it is. In writing. Very stark. And right in the midst of Christmas week as I prepare to bake and also become a fudge making machine. Clearly I cannot control the Christmas goodies well. So I will try to control what I think I can right now. My actual meals, my movement and my water drinking. It will go A LONG WAY in helping to mitigate the damage.
December 28: 205.2 I don’t think its possible to make goal, but I’ll aim for the best.
December 31: 207.0 Chinese for the past 2 days. Celebrations tonight. Goal is to carefully monitor the food and portions tonight to allow room for a few cocktails.

January 11: 207.0 A horrible weight week but I got it back down just in the nick of time.
January 18: 206.2 Lower calorie/carb dinners lately. Tweaking the snacks. Need more exercise.
January 25: 208.2 I went up a full two pounds this morning all at once! Carbs. New Dawn, New Day.
January 31: 207.6 down a touch. I am surprised actually.
