November 30, Day 268, 231 lbs, 34.0% bf

Dear Diary,
So today I had the recently forgotten feeling of anticipation when I hit the scale. Its not like I haven't been weighing in lately, but it was usually with a feeling of dread. I knew I wasn't doing much to get me where I wanted to be, but I had to check anyway. When I got on this morning I had expectations. And why the f*** shouldn't I have had them? I rode the bike 30 miles last night in two hours while watching Dexter and the boys from SAMCRO. I ate decent yesterday. Avoided cake that was calling my name. Huh? You've never heard of a talking cake? Well, who the f*** has heard of a talking diary? Hello!! Why aren't you saying anything a**hole? Oh s**t...

November 29, Day 267, 232.0 lbs, 30% bf

Dear Diary,
Yeah I know. I said nothing for two weeks and then I'm back twice in 8 hours. I need to get back on my grind. That's gonna require discipline. And a schedule. Sooo... Here I am. Huh? Nope. Nothing new has happened. Well I did a few push ups and there was another weigh in. Lost a couple ounces. Can't complain about that. S**t. You should have seen that carrot cake. I'm surprised I escaped with my life. Since I did, I'm gonna take that life and work the s**t out of it. Huh? You're an a**hole. Work out your own s**t.

November 28, Day 266, 232.2 lbs, 31% bf

Dear Diary,
What's up b***h? Huh? Oh. Its me. Mike. Don't try to get all brand new on me. You know who the f*** I am. Uh, yeah. I've been gone for a minute. Two weeks to be exact. Yeah, I could have called but I was busy.  I wish I could say that I did something worthwhile with my time, but I don't think its true. Mostly its been a blur of Call of Duty, Turkey, Sweet Potato pie and the random workout. I used to look forward to the workout to close out the day. I still look forward to it, but I don't make sure that I get it in. Its no longer the priority that it was. Kinda like your punk a**. I figured that I could do this without you since I had run into a wall. I was gonna come back and tell you of all of the wonderful things I did without you and how I didn't need your help to meet my goals. The truth is I didn't do much and I do need your help. As worthless as it is. Sometimes bouncing s**t off of you is a good thing. I'll get an epiphany like House every once in a while and get something I need to solve my problem and keep it pushing. Its not your fault that I stopped pushing when I hit the wall.  Its not your fault the wall is there. F***, its not even your fault that I can't find my way around it. Its also not your fault that I decided to eat cake and sit on my fat a** while I was waiting for the wall to disappear.. Huh? Ok fine lots of cake. I figure today was emblematic of my recent dilemmas. I had fruit and coffee for breakfast. No big deal there. But for lunch I had a big f***in hunk of carrot cake after eating a salad and some salmon. And before you get started, there were lots of carrots in there. I'd honestly say that I got a days worth of vegetables in there, but it was still a stupid thing to do. So I'm just not gonna do it tomorrow. But I'm not gonna lie. It'll be hard. Its the small f*** ups on an otherwise spotless day that seem to kill me. It probably wouldn't matter if I got my lazy a** on the bike, but I haven't. At least not as regularly as I had before. I feel like that fat guy inside of me is screwing me. Huh? Why would I have to say 'no homo' after that? I don't get it. Just let me finish. Damn. TLO is starting to get in little jabs about my inactivity and sweet tooth. Can't have that s**t, but the temptation to eat s**tty and do nothing to remedy it are really strong. I wish my desire to get past this bulls**t was that much stronger.
PS. It is.
PSS. All that s**t earlier was your fault. I f***ing hate you.

November 14, Day 252, 230.0 lbs, 34% bf

Dear Diary,
So my newly realized blessings arrived yesterday, but they didn't bring much in the area of will power. I finished off my donuts yesterday with the help of the little people. The better part was what I chose to eat for the rest of the day. I went to pick up some grilled chicken and sides from Albertsons. Got a early afternoon dinner in and then coasted through the rest of the day playing with the kids and washing clothes. No exercise still. Gotta fix that. I'm pretty sure I can't do it without exercise and I know that I can't get though this struggle alone. Huh? F*** naw!!! You don't count. I'm not going to pray to you; however, I will prey on you. Now shut the f*** up.

November 13, Day 251, 231.4 lbs, 32% bf

Dear Diary,
I was gonna give up on my goals. I had no fight left in me. I engaged in what I knew were self destructive behaviors yesterday. I did not exercise. I ate donuts and pizza and drank soda and played video games and watched TV while sitting on my a**. I was expecting to weigh in at 235 this morning. Thank goodness I didn't. There was virtually no increase from the Saturday morning weigh in. Then I got blessed at church. I realized that I've worked too hard and come too far to give up now. I expect to be successful. I've got some fight left in me. Consequently, I've got some pizza and donuts left in my kitchen.

November 11, Day 249, 230.2 lbs, 27% bf

Dear Diary,
Had company at the house last night watching the game. Made no effort to exercise. Just cleaned up after the kiddos and stayed away from the bag of M&Ms that infiltrated my office the previous night. Lost weight. I need more nights like that in my future. Just the weight loss part. I have grown to enjoy exercise. Still not grown accustomed to your b***h a** though.

November 10, Day 248, 231.8 lbs, 28.5% bf

Dear Diary,
Uh. Yeah. F***. Didn't see that coming. I feel bloated and any sign of a coming 6 pack is gone. I'm sure it's temporary, but I've got to find a way to divorce my attitude from my weight. It's an inverse relationship. Huh? No I didn't mean perverse you a**.
