This weekend, followed by yesterday, was not the best. I did exercise on Saturday and Sunday. But Sunday, I also sat and watched TV. This lazy lifestyle lead its way into Monday. I did not get up at 0600 and exercise AND I ate a lot of candy. I'm sure half of my calories were from candy. I did not even bother to log any of it.

But today, I feel better. I did get up and exercise. I'm back on track and feel physicially good. I still have my goal of losing 7 pounds by Thanksgiving. By this morning's weigh in, I have 3 more pounds to go.

Sunday seems to be a problem for me. . . I need to get some sort of routine, some sort of activity that fits into a Sunday. Saturday, I'm busy cleaning the house, doing yard work, running errands, etc. By Sunday, all the work is done (except for the laundry). And unless I want to find a river and a rock and beat my clothes clean, I need to find some sort of activity to keep me going. I know that one day off isn't going to hurt, but it doesn't help either. This is more a mental challenge than it is a physical one. Maybe I should join the church choir. That would require me to get up and have some sort of focus.

When the kids were at home and growing up, Sunday was get up, shower, get the kids ready, go to church, come home and catch a movie, followed by a really nice dinner. I would set the dining room table with the good china and we would all enjoy an nice dinner. But times change. Sunday dinners went by the way side in the summer months as the kids went with their friends for late summer night activities. Now, those special dinners are for birthdays, holidays, and other celebrations. I haven't been to church since my daughter's wedding this past August. This road ahead of me seems like the boring part of a road trip, nothing to look at and nothing to do.

I've got the rest of this week to figure out Sundays.
