Post Holiday

I haven't done anything to really spark my weight loss over the holiday. I ate when I was hungry and even sometimes when I was not hungry. My real problem was fast food. Being out shopping or running errands, Chik Fil A was a huge temptation, and I gave in to it several times. I can lie and say "hey it's chicken, it's healthy" but it's chicken deep fried in peanut oil, and with a side of waffle fries. This is NOT health food.

I am looking at a super-sprint Triathlon at the end of March. It's a 1.4 mile run, 4 mile bike ride, and 250 yard swim. It seems doable but I am not sure if I'll be ready in 3 months. It seems rather aggressive. I need to be pretty aggressive, though, to lose all the weight I want to lose this year (Close to 70 lbs!).

Nancy is really picking at me to lose weight. And I need to, but sometimes it works the other way - I get really angry that she's being so particular about my weight when I try not to let her bad habits bother me. It is counter-motivational.

My main motivation for losing weight is that, in September, I will have my 20th high school reunion, and while I could give a hoot about most of these people, I still would rather have people not think about me at all, than think about me as the guy who got really fat.
