After devolving into my own special brand of career psychosis the last couple days (can you imagine living with me), let's move back to health and fitness...
Exercise update: Today felt good. I went 42 minutes on the elliptical and spent 20 minutes working my way around the cybex circuit. That my friends is a solid hour, even if the elliptical is a bit weenie like:). I even threw in an extra set of ab exercises for good measure. After six weeks or so of doing regular workouts, I definitely feel fitter. As often noted, I'm not feeling the weight loss love, but definitely fitter. I truly believe good things will follow.
I'm very enthused about committing to the Urbanathlon in October. I love new things, sorta, and that is definitely new. I've done a half marathon, I've done short triathlons (and will do another this summer), but I've never done a 10 mile obstacle race. Even better to have someone to do it with, anyone else want to join me and young Brian? Also on the good news front, I think my little sister Jessica is committing to the Castle Rock Triathlon with me, right Jess?
Nutrition update: Remarkably enough, the satanic french fry tried to crawl back into my life today. I think I waited too long for lunch and being that hungry sends my brain right to "you can do it once" mode. After a lengthy internal struggle, well it wasn't that lengthy but it felt that way, I went with a salad and veggie pizza slice. Victory!!! I feel like such an AA guy. I can't ever say I'm over fast food, I just have to decide each day not to eat it. I guess maybe I'll have to do step one and admit I have a problem.
Good news for tonight... Between my workout and food management today, I have 1000 calories available for take out pizza tonight. Friday night family pizza. I hope I can manage it without going to the land of 8 slices... I'll report back on that tomorrow. So far I've pieced together a reasonable week since my last weigh in. If I can get through the holiday weekend, perhaps I'll have two successful ones in a row. How do those biggest loser people lose 10 lbs. a week? That can't be good can it?
Random Addition: I love Bob Dylan, here's a favorite lyric from a song of fairly recent vintage. The best thing about Dylan is it means whatever you want it to mean.
Enjoy the long weekend if you get one.
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
