No cheeseburgers last week.
You know how those large publicly traded companies like to give “guidance” for their shareholders? Here are some forward looking statements related to the next week or so: We’ll be doing a “trickle move” to a new house, entertaining in-laws, cleaning, etc. Not to mention some stress. In short, it’s not looking good for exercise and/or so-called “eating well.” Feel free to harass me in eight days.

Just keep swimming. And by “swimming,” I of course mean “not eating cheeseburgers.”

Finally. I hadn’t realized it’d been a month since I’d seen a change. Hopefully this was the pound and a half that was holding up the works.

Huh. Well, instead of dwelling on the fact that this week was a bagel—again—I thought I’d share a few positives from seven weeks of working out and eating well(er).
I’m faster. My base (or resting) treadmill speed is now 6.5 MPH, up from my old cruising speed of 6.0 MPH. I can go farther, too.
I’m stronger, and I’m lifting more weight. Granted, I’m only adding the tiny plates to the already small plates on the bar, but 10 more pounds is 10 more pounds, right?
My pants are somewhat looser, and I’m using the next belt hole to keep them up.
I didn’t participate in National Doughnut Day last week.
The terrible heartburn I was getting every night? Gone.
So, you know—some pluses.
Oh, and these are staring me in the face as I type:
Send help.

I had two immediate reactions when I found this photo this morning:
I’m not the least bit surprised.
I really miss Carl’s Jr.

Not my strongest week; there were a few too many treats at church events and home. I shared the guaraná as preemptive punishment, though. So, you know—onward.

I told myself I can have one can of Guaraná Antarctica out of my stash every 10 pounds. Huzzah.
