Day of rest

Goal weight (4/28/12): 195

Current weight: 232.4

And on the seventh day, I rest. Well, let me rephrase that, I will be regrouting the kitchen tile floor, so it won’t be like I am lying around.  And taking my son to Scouts. And working on a project. And working on some business stuff I haven’t gotten to this week.

But the bottom line is that I’m going to be allowing my muscles heal up a little.  Rest is a very important part of the mix — particularly when you are old and out of shape like I am (recovery time at the age of 44 is way longer than it was when I was 20!)

I’ll continue watch what kind of food I put in my mouth and get ready for work tomorrow (and another 30+ minute run tomorrow).

My progress this week has been encouraging.

      I was at a fork in the road. First I took the fork out of my mouth and then I got moving down the right path. So far, so good.

    Way to go. I have lost approximately 4o pounds since June 2011. I didn’t follow a good diet and exercise plan, but what I did worked for me.
    Grouting a floor is a workout all of its own.
