When I blow it, I blow it big! The price: I'm up 6 lb today.

But if you look at the last three days, all of which were "bad", the total calorie overage for all three combined was only 336 kcal, or just 112 kcal/day. So this is a blip. Overall for Round 1 I averaged just over 1600 kcal/day, which is right what I need to make goal by the end of the year. So, yeah, I blew it yesterday and the two days prior weren't anything to shout about, but a C- is still a passing grade!

This ten-day increment look at calories has unexpected benefits. It forces me to put the numbers into an intermediate range perspective that is good. A few bad days isn't that big a deal. I'm still on track, regardless of what the scale happens to claim this morning. That will work itself out.

None-the-less, today starts a new round and I've got to get my eye back on the prize.
