I dldn't start my eating behavior modifications during February as I had wanted - more false starts. Tomorrow, March 1, is a Monday and I am going to try my best to start and then maintain my eating behavior modification with a goal of loosing 100+ pounds.

Did ok today. Ate a little more than I wanted to but not as much as I used to eat. I have to be careful tomorrow because the third day has historically been a day of failure and the defacto start of my return to my old bad eating habits.

I did not start my eating behavior modification on Monday, February 9 as I had wanted. I did start (and hopefully will continue) my eating behavior change on
Tuesday, February 10, 2004. My goal is still to loose 100 pounds.

Had a nice dinner at Bertucci's. Tomorrow, Monday, Febrruary 9, 2004, is the day I start my return to the eating behaviors that resulted in my loosing 70 pounds in 1999. I saw the movie "Miracle" today and maybe that will be extra motivation in my struggle against my weight. I remember watching the Olympic hockey games in 1980 and was an avid hockey fan back then. In 1980, Boston was (and still is) one of the centers of college hockey and hockey is one of our favorite sports (although today, one week after the 2004 SuperBowl, we are Patriot's nation). I am not equating my need to loose 100+ pounds to the fantastic event in 1980 when our hockey team won the gold medal and beat the best hockey team in the world. However, from my perspective, my need to loose 100 pounds is my most important personal goal and will be as difficult for me to attain as winning the gold medal was for our hockey team in 1980.

I didn't start my behavior change on Thursday. I'm eating like always and going to the vending machine way too often. I am trying to "psych myself up" to start the eating behavior modifications on Monday, February 9, 2004, I HAVE GOT TO START MY CHANGE IMMEDIATELY.

Today I did ok. Didn't visit the vending machine too much. I did eat a little too much for supper. I'll have to watch myself at supper in the future. Overall, ok.

I reverted to my old eating behaviors already. I am determined I will return to my 1999 eating behavior modifications that worked so well for me and will not let this latest failure prevent me from starting my goal of loosing 100+ pounds. Usually, I wait until the first of the week or month to try again after a failure. This time, I am starting tomorrow, Thursday, February 5, 2004 and not waiting until next Monday. Twenty-one weeks from tomorrow, July 1, 2004, will be my first day of retirement and I want to loose at least 50 pounds before retirement.

Overall ok, but I did visit the vending machine in work more than I should have. I'll work on controlling the vending machine visits; I have to minimize my work vending machine visits in order to be successful.

Did ok today. Vastly reduced my visits to vending machine in work. I ate a little too much for supper, but overall a good day.
