The week went by too fast - which always seems to happen when I am on vacation. So time to get caught up on a few things around here. First of all you may remember that I was worried about this week from a diet standpoint - we hosted a big feast on Sunday, and then went to big dinners on Monday and Tuesday. Predictably, I ate way too much at every meal. I didn’t go crazy like I would have in the past, but I definitely did go over good sense. And since then I’ve had more than my share of leftover Christmas cookies, toffee, brittle, you name it. Now that I am writing this I am reminding myself that the diet starts up again, right now.
I did, however, do a little planning in anticipation of this. I took the week off from strength training but I planned to do extra cardio and so far I have logged almost 10 miles in the last 4 days, and that includes 30 minutes on Christmas morning. So I feel good about that. My unofficial weigh-in this morning had me at 266, the same as I weighed in on Sunday. So I am almost assured of not hitting my monthly goal of 261, but losing a pound this week is still doable.
I monkeyed about with the blog a little bit adding a new header graphic and links to popular articles. I don’t really like the image as it sports all women, and with me being a guy and all maybe it would be better to go with an image with at least some men in it. But this the best I could find for now and I wanted to make a change.
Finally, I did a little closet cleaning. At this point I am wearing jeans in size 38 or 40 and dockers/dress pants in size 40. I bagged up 12 pairs of pants that were either a big size 40, or anything higher. Most of what I got rid of were 42s but I did have a couple of 44s. I kept one pair of 44s as a reminder for where I have come from. I added a few shirts and things that had to go for reasons other than size, and today I’ll drop them off at Goodwill.
I’m ready for 2008.
