Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 36

I fell flat on my face this week, figuratively. I had a really rough week at work thanks to extra work created by a database corruption that left me being about four days behind on my workload. That helped me none as far as the stress and the associated consumption.

I also ate poorly over the weekend, I only got in two runs, I didn’t do any tracking, I know I exceeded my points. I did everything wrong this week and virtually wiped out my loss of last week. I’m ashamed of myself. I know what works and what doesn’t work and I let my own weaknesses take control this week. I just have to get back on my feet and keep on truckin’.

I was so hoping for a better week. I’m posting my first progress pics in nearly 9 months and wanted them to show progress (I haven’t had them taken yet, so I don’t know if they do or not). I’m gonna keep going because I have a goal in mind and I only want to keep moving forward. The only way to do that is to keep going.

Oh, and what of the challenge? I don’t know. I want to give myself an immediate out and say that this week was completely unscripted (honestly, the stress of this would not have been there had it not been for a complete database failure). However, aren’t all weeks unscripted? So I leave the decision up to you guys. Do you feel I should face the challenge or that I get an excused absence?

Update:
I’ve posted my latest photos on my personal site.
