Welp, I have no idea what I weigh right now. This morning it was around 277, but I don't really remember, and I just ate, so now isn't a good time. I'll be sure to post the "official" weight on Sunday as usual.
Just wanted to write and let everyone know I was still around. I spent last week at mom and dad's visiting family. Spent a night with my sister so of course plenty of time with the crazy nephew and the sweetest cutest niece in the world. Seriously, she is adorable. My sister would tell me about people stopping her in stores and such to say how cute she was (which I totally agree with) but we went to lunch at Mellow Mushroom in Chattanooga and sure enough, at least 4 people stopped by our table to tell us how cute she is. All the while the nephew is trying to eat all the pretzels and is falling under the table out of his high chair. The kid is crazy, but absolutely hilarious. I got to see my grandmaw (my last remaining grand parent) who has had a series of doctors appointments lately. She has been diagnosed with cancer and started treatment yesterday. Obviously prayers would be appreciated on her behalf, but just so everyone knows, she is a tough ole' bird and said she wasn't going anywhere till I got married. She might have to wait a while. Anyways, it was great to see her get to play with her great grandchildren.
Obviously, I saw mom and dad. I love my parents, as crazy/off the wall/slow talking as they can be, they are awesome. Dad and I shot some clays in the back yard, good father/son bonding time. Mom and I ate breakfast together one morning, french toast. I like french toast, but no one makes it like mom, her's is the best by far. I had the privilege of getting to see some very good friends and spend a lot of time with them as well. I got to shoot a few times last week, which I love. It's nice to just have some friends come over, throw some clays, put up some targets, and throw some lead down range. The only draw back, my shotgun has been malfunctioning lately, so I had to send it back to the factory to get them to fix it. Just a note, for anyone around Athens that wants to go shoot at the indoor range, let me know, I am always up for that.
Well, now that I got that out of the way, on to current events. I have decided to do my absolute best to not eat out as much (Tuesday is 5$ pizza a Papa Johns, thats $2.50 a meal, can't pass that up. Also Chick fil A for breakfast one day a week and Saturdays. It's my routine, sorry), and now I have an even better goal than losing weight. I want to buy a new gun, so at this point, it's less about weight and more about a new rifle, which will still give me a positive end result at weigh in time and I will be saving money.
Walking has been great this week, not so good last week. I think I might have developed a nice routine now. Get home, eat a nice snack, nap, then walk. I love this daylight lasting till 8ish. Still waiting on the gym to open to start some weights, really looking forward to that.
Ugh, thats enough for now.
Can I make a suggestion?
ReplyDeleteMove around your routine. Get home, walk, eat a snack, then nap.
I'm no physician, but I believe eating then taking a nap just lets that food sit in your stomach. Walk, get more hungry, eat a snack to hold you over, take a nap, then eat a healthy dinner.
I don't have a routine myself, but this is what I imagine the perfect life would be like. Just got to find that nap time now...
Keep up the good work!
Snod, you might be right. My thought was to eat and let it settle (the nap is only about 30-45 mins) and start to digest. Then get the blood flowing to get the nutrients going around the body. I have no idea if that is accurate but it sounds good in my head. I'll have to look into it a little more and see what might be the better idea.
