It's on the rise again.

It's northern exposure so there's never direct light. Today was perfectly clear and the sunlight wasn't an issue. If I were on another face of the building I'm sure there would be problems.

I think you've proved your point about staying out of the Wastland, by the way, George. I think it's time you came back.

I had a point?

I'm too busy with school right now

I had a good workout with the weights yesterday - enough to feel it, but not enough to cripple me. I ate well for most of the day yesterday, then pounded a crapton of sugar right before bed. I was sitting there on the couch, watching the football game, and crushing Milano cookie after Milano cookie. Halfway through the second sleeve, I stopped and realized what the hell I was doing and stared at the bag in horror. WTF? It was totally unconscious.

I've signed up to run the Celtic Solstice 5-Miler. I'll be the heaviest I've ever been when it runs. Sara is going to sign up, too, and we're going to train together. I'm looking forward to that.

I'll weigh myself and update this post when I've stopped sweating from the morning's HIIT and can take a shower.

I don't know what to call it. The smoking cessation was definitely willpower. The booze? I don't know. I haven't wanted to quit any more than I had before. I hadn't wanted to start eating right any more than I had before. I didn't want to start working out any more than I had before. Just, for some reason, I've actually started doing so.

Weight: 241.2 lbs

I'm too sore to hit the weight room. It's not crippling, but if I were to do resistance training with these worn-out muscles, I would be miserable tomorrow and Friday.

Sara ran with me last night. We're doing an entry-level Runners World training program since she'll be participating in the Celtic Solstice. It was a fun time! We had the fitness center to ourselves 'til about 15 minutes into the workout.

Today's menu is a brisk 30 minute walk. I'm going to take Orion with me. Sara's out at our friend's tonight so she walked at lunch.

I ate poorly and feel fat as a result. Got caught up with work and didn't eat 'til I was blindingly hungry.

We're gettin' the Band back together!

Weight: 242.1 lbs

I'm up at 5am to get ready for an install at a client site. It's weird to turn on the news and see empty roads. I love it. I'm not tired 'cause I got to bed early last night.

I'm crazy sore. Walked Ri for 45 minutes when I got home from work yesterday. It was pitch-black at 5:30pm.

I didn't eat anything 'til 4pm.

I didn't drink any alcohol and I worked out with Sara at the fitness center.

Looks like I just got in under the wire.

I hope Bandit's running. At this point, the CS5M may be too short a distance.

I had a very stressful day yesterday. I went to bed grumpy and hungry. I also went to bed having had a good workout and having avoided alcohol. I'm proud of that. Today's busy, too, but I'm not going to miss my exercise or nutrition goals.

Running kilted? I have a gig that night or I'd come down and support ya.
