Reality Check

I’ve gained two more pounds. Am I surprised? No, given that I have only loosely been following the guidelines over the last two weeks.

I talk a big talk, but my execution and follow through are poor, if not altogether nonexistent.

I was doing so well, too. Now I’m back where I started.

Four pounds may not seem like anything to most people, but it matters to the surgeon. It matters to me.

I’ve got to find a way to make this system work for me again. I’ve got to set some emergency goals for myself:

• I will check in to the Baritastic app at least 5 times daily to ensure tracking accuracy.

• I will log the entire day for three consecutive days.

We’ll see how I follow through on these.

I wonder if there’s an app that allows you to create and track goals. That would be awesome to write about for LCC. I’m going to go and investigate this.
