Couple Steps Back

I got a big head about hitting 208.4. That coupled with the amount of manual labor I did this weekend gave me an illegitimate license to eat everything in sight. I'm experienced enough to know this would happen, but I was still horrified when 211 was staring me down.

Clearly my sense of urgency has waned and I seem to be getting more and more comfortable with my current weight. I need to keep traction. Help.

New Low, Folks

This is cool: I pigged out on Chinese last night then had my best weigh in of the year. Busted my hump in the yard today and treated myself to leftovers for lunch and a smoked brisket and Legend Browns for dinner. I'd type more, but my wrist is dead.

Rudder Correct

As expected, Tuesday's gluttony adversely affected Wednesday's weigh in. Thankfully, I was able to eat somewhat conservatively today and get in a nice workout. 20 miles on the Silver Stallion at 18.9mph. Nice!

I bet I earned 10ish points for my ride. Probably burned 700-1000 calories. Adam, how'd your run go?

Must Be a Fad...Damn you, Gyro....Double Damn You, Stuzzi

So it turns out everybody is hopping on the weight loss/fitness bandwagon. I spoke with my 90 year old grandmother today, and after I shared my weight loss endeavor, she shared her own story. Turns out she spends half an hour on a stairmaster at level 15. "Grams!", I exclaimed. "Please don't hurt yourself! That workout sounds crucial!". She allayed my fears and commented that it was merely a moderate workout that got her pulse into the 90s. She went on to say it was nothing like riding a bicycle into a 15mph wind for two hours. Still, I was impressed.

In related news, I think I just pissed off my one remaining reader.

Today was a horrific dieting day. In fact, there was no dieting at all. Work brought in lunch for a long meeting, and I ordered the gyro. That thing was colossal. Instead of pita, the meat and veggies were wrapped in a piece of naan the size of a large aerobie. Then for dinner, I met my lovely wife at Stuzzi. Stuzzi is the only pizzeria in Virginia that makes authentic Neapolitan pizza. Meat and cheese tray, focaccia, salad, and pizza down the tubes. There's no way I can calculate my points today. Thankfully I have a bike ride lined up with Pops for tomorrow. It ain't no stairmaster, but it will have to do.
