The day after

Random musings: Today was a bummer. My wife took our van to a nearby running trail and some jerks decided to smash our window and steal her purse. This caused much consternation as we had to figure out cancelling credit cards and whether we should re-key our house and other car, since they may have those things in their possession.

Needless to say, very stressful and Anne and I were both pretty frazzled tonight. I ended up missing part of the day at work and working very late to catch up. I am glad she doesn't seem too upset,but she did go up to bed at 7:00. Not so much to sleep, but just to chill. The police have pretty good leads and they think they recovered her purse and keys, so we'll know more tomorrow. I work with so many people who aren't always on the right side of the law that I'm scared the thieves might be people I know. That would be really upsetting, more than it should be really. I guess I feel like I spend so much time advocating for people who struggle in life, that if someone I knew robbed me, it would be hard to swallow.


exercise update: Nothing to report. I just took the night off. Maybe stress or maybe fatigue from yesterdays' field trip marathon, regardless I needed a night off. I have my bag packed for the Y tomorrow. I'm thinking stationary bike and cybex. Next week should be the right time to re-connect with my trainer.

nutrition update: After a successful few days using a website to track food, I'm going to try to go without it's help. maybe that's foolish, but I want to see if I can make good choices on my own. I'll know more on my weigh-in days. Hopefully it's not premature, although I admit it seems so as I type it.

Today was good choices even in the face of a stress excuse. My brain tried to tell me to add Taco Bell to my sandwich at home because I "deserved it". I guess my rationalizing hasn't been cured yet:) On the good news front, I didn't go. I did go for a beer and small frozen pizza tonight, but I think it fits the plan, at least pretty close. And of course, this marks 11 days without Fries. I'm starting to miss McDeath a lot less. Best to not give an addict a taste or I could go on a binge.

More random stuff: Saturday marks 30 days since my first photo posted on the blog. I will post an update. I wish there was more progress, but so far it's been more on the mental side. it's a start.
