So I've reached the point that the holidays are behind me and I'm ready to resume my weight loss efforts. I hadn't been weighing myself as I didn't want to know the truth of the damage done. The last I had checked I had gained a little and inched up to about 208.
Monday I hop on the scale expecting the worse and I weigh....204! What a nice and unexpected surprise. So I'm left to ponder how that could be so. In the past when I've dropped off the Lo-Carb diet (or any diet) I've instantly ballooned. Why not this time?
The difference, IMHO. My basic diet never changed off of the Lo-Carb structure. Sure I cheated plenty, sure the local DQ is way better off than than before I moved to this area, but for the most part my underlying diet has stayed the same. That's a great find. It gives a lot of hope to being able to maintain a weight once I hit my goals.
Finding a new job. I'm really struggling with this one. I think in a sense if I had a career it'd be a lot easier. Simply target the industry and shoot. But I've flittered about so that I don't really have a 'go to' career option. In essence it's like finding my first job all over again. Pile onto that that the possiblility exists to really go in a completely different direction and possibly location. I feel pressure to make a great decision yet i don't know what a great decision might look like.
If only I had gone into teaching like I had intended. I'm such an idiot. It's the only thing I do well and have a passion for. The problem with a lack of conviction.
I have some time, but not alot. So I really need to get a plan together.

Hey man. Keep up the good work on the weight! And best of luck on the job search.
This isn't really a weight comment, but my very best physical ever -- just weirdly great numbers on all the stuff they typically check -- came after several months of just totally binging out at places like McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's. The body works in mysterious ways.
All I can say is take some time to figure out what you want and just start moving towards it...it doesn't have to be the perfect job right now, it doesn't have to be all the right answers right now you just have to keep moving towards something and enjoy what you find along the way.
