The last two weeks have been a bit of a struggle for me with regard to staying on track to get to my goal of 190 pounds.  I lost no weight week 14 and week 15 wasn't off to any better start.  I was off from work all last week and bought a rack of half-liter German lager beers.  The weather was beautiful and I was barbecuing every day for my kids.  On Tuesday, I had a buddy over and we cooked up some bratwurst and got into the beer.  On Wednesday, I got my kids a chocolate bunny for Easter and on an impulse buy, I bought a box of chocolates as well.  Boy was that a mistake and I still can't figure out why I did that.  Anyway, Wednesday afternoon and evening, I finished off the beer, five bottles I believe, and ate that box of chocolates, ten pieces in all.  It tasted so good.  I got up the next morning and weighed myself and I was at 215.  I literally freaked out.  The good news was that I have stuck to my weight training and not missed a day.  The bad news was of course the beer and chocolates, as well as the fact that I have stopped doing my cardio for about eight or nine days.  Well, once I saw the number on the scale Thursday morning, that was all over.  Rather than doing interval training on the treadmill like I had been doing, I did a short warm up and just ran.  On Thursday I ran for 20 minutes non-stop.  I haven't done that in over 20 years.  I'm up to 30 minutes now and that's where I'm comfortable for the time being.  I really surprised myself with the running, and thanks to a rededication to my effort, I actually dropped three pounds for the week!  No more screwing around as I have learned my lesson.  I'm sticking to the diet, the cardio, and the weights until I get to 190!  Below are the stats for week 15.  Bottom line, I just needed a good kick in the ass to get back on track.
