After months of ignoring the scale, I decided to face it head on.  Ugh.  It isn't as bad as I anticipated, but gaining 10 pounds is not pleasant. It also explains the pants/jeans not fitting as well as they did.

So, what does this mean?  It means I know where I am. 23 pounds over my goal weight.  It means I have 3.5 months to move the scale in the downward direction to hopefully reach goal or close to it by December 31st.

I'm back to logging what I eat.  I need to get better at that and working out, but it's a work in progress.  I have that pesky half marathon coming up in October.  Then I have two months of being able to pick races for fun.  Hopefully this helps motivate me to get my butt in gear!
