December was a “step back” month.

To be fair, it usually is.

For the last few years, I’ve gained weight in December.

It’s a tough month to “be good”.

Parties. Celebrations. Traditional foods.

Late nights. Drinking.

You get the picture.

The last couple of years, I gained more than 3 pounds in December.

This year, I gained 1.9lbs from November’s weight.

Average weight for December was 197.4lbs.

Highest weight was 203lbs. Lowest weight was 193.4lbs.

I managed to fit in a couple of fasts.

And do some long runs.

Otherwise, the weight gain would have been more.

On the plus side, my weight for December 2024 was ten pounds less than my weight for December 2023.

But I could have done better.

And I will do better in January.

It is important to have some fun.

To go overboard every now and then.

It’s also important to know when to get back on track.
