Up and Down
Hard to believe I have exercised for a month without finding a reason to miss my workouts.I thought of some creative excuses during the first couple of weeks but always found myself pulling into the parking lot of Fitness Together for the pain I knew would follow.Thankfully Im not nearly as sore as each week passes.It has been over 20 years since I have exercised and it has not been easy getting back in the groove.
I weigh once a week and have alternated weeks with decent losses to be followed by weeks with almost nothing lost.I have tried to take some consolation in seeing a smaller number each week.I am hopeful this will be a big week on the scale.
Im surprised that I have hung in there on the diet with my only transgression being a lone Hershey bar two weeks ago.It was eaten in the safety of my closet for fear of being caught by my wife who has been employed as a spy for both Healthy Connections and Fitness Together.
Sorry I have not been blogging much lately.I always think I will have time after my nightly workout but usually come home and pass out with the satisfaction of knowing that I have worked hard.Im convinced that If I had been working out alone I would have never broken a sweat.
I have been a little discouraged to see that others have lost up to twenty pounds during a single week.I havent done nearly that well and have got some catching up to do!!! I have arranged for the delivery of do-nuts to each of my fellow contestants to acknowledge their accomplishments.
I will report back on Thursday after my weigh in. Hope every one has a great week!
