Thanks Clarissa.
Weight (last night): 220.5
Calories (from yesterday): ~2,050
I f'ing LOVE MyFitnessPal (thanks Jen for the heads up). I'm slowly adding all of my common meals to the app, and it's really convenient.
I'm looking to slowly drop my daily calorie count to ~1,600 on days when I don't work out, and around 1900 on days when I do.

I woke up this morning and stepped on the scale: it read 225.4 lbs. I mini-freaked out!
Then I slapped the scale around a bit (my makeshift version of "zeroing" the scale), and it was back down to an expected 2 220.2 lbs.
Upshot: I have GOT to get a more legitimate scale. Any recommendations??
I did not count my calories yesterday or today. The relative variability of the weekends make calorie-counting harder for me, but no less important. I need to plan out my next Saturday and Sunday more precisely (or at least track them more precisely).

It is amazing how ready my brain is to find excuses to not do something. When things are perfect, and when I have a structure in place, I'm usually good-to-go. But when there's a little kink in the daily chain, I get completely off the rails.
I am planning on seeing family this weekend, and even now I am anticipating falling of my habit schedule because the trip is a deviation from normality. Now that I think of it, I don't believe I've ever gone on a trip or vacation where I didn't put my plans on hold.
As an update, I have been maintaining ~8 of my daily habits, which is excellent (especially since going to the gym is one of them!). Even with eating, I have been maintaining a core nutrition component every day. But then there's the Wendy's and Taco Bell's on top of the nutrition. Truly, I am a food addict.
Overall, I am at a state of low (albeit sincere) satisfactoriness where I am at. I am creating and maintaining habits in a way that I have never done before.
But my big challenge of food still remains, and it is one I need to really start overcoming soon.
