Another week logged.  I ended the week at eactly 190, but was just under that for 3 days.  That's the least I've weighed since 2008.

The urge to pig out for comfort while stuck in the house due to weather was greatly offset by a new sense of being on auto-pilot in the area of diet.  I remember eating 5-6 meals/day and ALWAYS thinking about food.  These days, I almost always eat twice a day, and I don't give it a lot of thought.  I'm about to undertake an extremely large project that will take a vast amount of my time for the next year or two, so it's very important that I don't feel like my diet and exercise require a lot of my time. 

I will continue to follow the routine I'm on as it feels pretty effortless at this point.  One pure weight/strength day a week.  Two CrossFit days a week.  Two or three walks a week.  Once I get down to 180 pounds I will make some changes to that routine.  Mid-March, right?  :)
