Weigh-In: Week 86

Did anyone else notice that the gravity field was stronger today? Well, if only it were that easy to blame my gain on anything but me. However, we all know the fault here lies completely on me. Lemme see… just what did I do?

Oh yeah… I guess I should’ve skipped the Celtic Kiss I fixed for myself one night. Oh, and the several brownies I’ve had over the week. Plus other sweets and stuff. Good grief. I knew I had a bad week when I had a minor gout attack hit me Sunday evening and finally go away last night.

Of course, on the upside, I did situps 3 nights, pushups 2 nights, leg lifts 1 night, a 20 minute slow walk with my wife and our dog on Sunday followed by a 30 minute fast walk by myself and a 20 min walk today at lunch. My workout buddy got the flu on Friday and had to miss the last two days. Hopefully he’ll be back tomorrow to start in on our workout plan.

I’ll just have to push myself harder to stick to core and avoid the sweets. They are really my downfall right now. I have been enjoying more fruits and veggies, but I haven’t avoided the chocolates and desserts either.

Update 2.6.2008:
My workout buddy finally came back to work today after the flu, but was still too weak to deal with working out.  So our plans are postponed until Monday when we attempt to start fresh (again).  He also already signed us up for a 2 mile fun run on March 8th.  Unfortunately, I don’t do any work or exercise on the Sabbath and can’t seem to convince him of that.  So we’ll see how I can get out of this without hurting him.  After all, I’ve always wanted to do a charity run, but they’re almost exclusively on Saturdays when I observe the Sabbath.
