My Eating & Work-outs From Thursday March 11th (first day of Spring Break) to Yesterday, March 21st (last day of spring break)

It's been way too long since my last post. WOW-O-WOW-O-WOW!!!!! let me start by confessing, this past week of Spring Break, which totaled 11 days, did not instill the best eating habits. The big factor in my loss of control was easily recognizable; it was being around family & friends. This factor inevitably caused me to eat carryout and eat out at restaurant more than I have been during my exercise and diet regime due to wanting to celebrate and enjoy my break with them. Despite what could have been a detrimental week to my weight loss I am happy to share that I have lost one pound. Today I weighed myself and was extremely pleased to see that I weighed 234.8 pounds, roughly where my weight was before I left for break, fluctuating between 234-236 pounds. Below, the days in the color red are the days I did not work-out standing for negative and in green are the days I did work-out standing for positive. I drank alcohol a majority of the nights but don't remember How much so this will be excluded.
