Wednesday, Mar 2 2011 - Hump Day
View MIDDLEROAD's food & exercise for this day
Wednesday. Hump day. And it feels like a hump. Sun is shining brightly but I am tired. Airplanes from OHare woke me at 1am and then again at 4am and kept going and going. Flying low and loud. I thought they werent suppose to fly at night. If they do, I guess they dont usually wake me up. But I am tired today.
Farm Boy worked me hard last night. A lot of upper body work, (which I need), but it tired me out and made me sore. Lost weight, but not sure how much. I weighed myself on one scale and it said 1 lb, then FB weighed me on his scale and it seems to kind of stick so at first it looked like nothing and then he said it was 2 lbs (after I wiggled a bit). So, whatever! He balanced the scale first, but it seems to kind of stick anyway WTF. Why dont they get one of those nice walk-ons that are digital. Not that it matters all that much, but if they are going to do weigh-ins for a contest where the prize is $10,000 dollars well that makes a big difference. I have a feeling that this contest is fixed anyway. The participants come from all the gyms they own. They dont seem to make it seem like anyone at my gym could possibly win. And they emphasized that you have to turn in an essay and that the essay is what could win you the prize .. I know that sounds negative, and I am not really in it to win it for their prize, I just want to lose the weight. But still if you are going to have a contest .. it should be fair. I wonder if you have to lose big like on biggest loser to win. I have been averaging 2 lbs a week. A good loss but not spectacular by any means. I am wishing today that it would come off faster and easier. Dont we all wish that? I can gain huge amounts in 1 day but losing is a lot slower.
Tonight is therapy. I dont exactly know what to talk about. I guess I have decided to stay at my job. I am noting each day on the calendar how I feel. I mark a W for work and an R for retire. Most days seem to be a W, just the very stressful ones are an R. So maybe I can find a way to handle the stressful ones (without eating). The boredom is another issue

Glad you had a good workout. 2 lb loss a week is perfect. I hope you keep on that awesome path.
