Monday Status (on Tuesday) and Weekly Eating Plan

So...I've been MIA a while. Not just from this blog, but from my eating and exercise plans.

The last few weeks have been HORRIBLE.  I missed two weeks of workouts.  And, my eating deteriorated right along with my exercise routine.

The good news is that I managed to maintain my weight at 208 and not gain back any more.

I really remain amazed at how easy it is to get off track.  And, I beat myself up so much when I do.  I need to remember that I can't be perfect all the time.  And, that this whole process is going to take time.

The other good news is that I did manage to start working out and eating well again yesterday.  My goal for this week is to just keep that up throughout the week.  I have a bad habit of looking too far into the future...imagining what 10 and 20 and 40 pounds lost will look and feel like.  I need to keep focused on today.

So, I am starting Jamie Eason's Phase II workouts over again.  I skipped so many of them that I just need a redo.

And, here is the eating plan for the week:
