I have been away for a few days. I went to Atlanta, with my family, for a short mini-vacation. I will confess, I ate a lot more than I should have, but I haven’t ‘regained’ any weight. Frankly, I’m glad to be back home and back in my routine. I missed my workouts and my fruit! (Next time, I’ll try to do a better job of planning for the trip – taking some fruit with me, etc.)
I’m going to the gym in a few minutes…
I’m really, really, really looking forward to my interval training…
Did I just type that sentence? Exercise rocks!

I went to the gym today and walked / ran for 2 miles. I am doing intervals. I walk for 2 minutes and then run for 2 minutes. I feel pumped! Usually – read “every, single, time” – I lower the speed of the treadmill as I approach my goal-time. But, today, I pushed myself and I did the routine, exactly like I was supposed to. When I finished, I was dripping with sweat and I was breathing heavily, but I felt GREAT.
I’ve created a new chart so that I can track three important goals. I want to avoid fast food, exercise 30 minutes a day, and stay on my eating plan. Here’s my current chart -

I haven’t eaten fast food for more than 2 weeks! Amazing.
I’ll have a weigh in in the morning.

Last night, I at a little more than I should have. My son, who goes to bed around 7, got up about 9 and couldn’t get back to sleep. So, I rocked him for a few minutes and we shared a little popcorn. Then, after putting him back to bed, I ate some peanut butter and crackers. I should have skipped the peanut butter and crackers.

This weekend, my wife, the kids and I were out of town, visiting some family. I did very well. I stuck with my plan and I didn’t overeat. We also had a party at our church last night, and I simply nibbled on a few small pieces of meat and some pecans. Again, instead of eating and eating, I nibbled just a bit and then had fun.
Weight as of this morning -
