Confession: I slacked off while out of town

It’s true, I did slack off while I was out of town.  This time I wasn’t around any exercise equipment so I really couldn’t exercise.  I have a 3 year old and an 18 month old and no babysitters out of town either so I couldn’t even go walking.  Actually, there was no real safe place to walk as I would’ve had to take both kids with me and my daughter would have had to walk.  She’s so slow, there wasn’t really much point.  Okay, enough excuses….I have been “off” for 6 days and am going back to it full swing in the morning.  Last week I was able to do 8 miles a day for 3 days in a row.  Maybe I can make up for some of this time off by doing that 6 days this week.  That’ll get me 48 miles in a week, I usually average about 30.  Hmmm….technically, I only need to make up 12 miles….hmmm…I’m thinking here…..
Okay, here’s my plan for the next 9 days… I’m going to give my very best effort and try to go for 8 miles every day.  I absolutely HAVE to make up for time lost!!

Unfortunately, I’ve gained back a couple of pounds that I lost last week.  I figure, I have 3 days left to take it off.  I gotta do it.  Oh, also “Tom” as so many of you call it is here.  That may be part of the reason that I’ve gained back 2 lbs.  Still, I now have to lose 8 pounds by June 1st.  I don’t think I’ll make it but I can get close at least.   Ha ha ha….I just realized that would be nearly a pound per day.  Yeah, right!!  Okay, I may not make my mini goal by our Disney trip but I want to get as close as possible.

Also, I’m tired of the Jags coming in second place!!  I don’t want to be the reason we don’t win!  So, I challenge my teammates to unstrap the feed bags and get down to business with me.  Let’s get rid of this fat and kick some kitty booty!!! 

Are ya with me?  Oh, one last thing…I went back to my old “home town” sort of…we spent 7 years in Charlotte.  A lot of my old friends made comments on how much weight I’ve lost!!  Man, it felt GREAT!!  I’d estimate that I got compliments from AT LEAST 20 different people on my weight loss.  Talk about a swollen head!!  But, it’s also great motivation…I can’t wait to see some of them in November!!  Okay buddies, I need your help to get as close to goal as possible by November so keep me honest and motivated and I’ll do the same for you!
