Race Day!

What a good feeling Saturday morning! It was good to hang out with ScottyB yesterday and have dinner. Today we are planning on meeting up at the Swiz and watching the Nascar race. It'll be fun, even if he is a Gordon fan.

Other than that, there is nothing I can think of to bore you with today.

I'm Being Bad Today

I sort of slept in today. Until about 9am anyways. It was worthless to try it, but I did. I kept waking up like every few minutes, so any extra sleep I was hoping to get was non-existent. Add Daisy in there licking my face half of the time on top of it all, just was not helping things. So I just gave up and got out of bed.

Usually about that time, I am headed out the door to the gym. Well, every other day. Today was a day to go, but I just didn't feel like it. No excuses, just don't feel like it. I am in a sort of 'blah' mood.

But the good news is it is Friday. My bro Scotty B is down in town visiting, so have plans to go out to dinner tonight. I have no clue what all the rest of the weekend entails.... I know the Daughter is due home this weekend as well, for an ortho appt on Monday morning. Next weekend the Wife and oldest son will be out of town Fri-Sun. He has a band event going on at Disneyland in Cali. Wife is going as a chaperon. I get to stay home with the two younger boys, and eat out the whole weekend!

Nothing else exciting.

Mid Week Excuses

I have been sitting here, playing games on Facebook, for the past couple hours. Aside from being *that* bored, it has been mainly as I sit here and think over and over in my head, excuses to NOT go to the gym this morning. Yeah, it has started already.... the excuse making.

Monday I had gone, did some bike riding, some treadmill, and some upper body work. But I overdid some of the upper body. I don't know if I subconsciously did it, or just because I was stupid. Either way, I was using more weight than I should have started out with, and even now, two days later, my arms ache...bad. Right on the inside bend of the elbow... those muscles at the edge of the forearm. One of those, every time you move the arm, it aches... and extending the arm. Ugh! I wince and move it very slowly, and it actually HURTS to get it fully extended. Yeah, I am sure it is muscle/tendon strain.... not a tear. Stupid me.

So, that's the biggest excuse running through my head. 'No sense in going just to ride the bike for a bit. Can't so much with the arms so much of the upper body stuff won't be done today.' Yeah, I know. I still need to get out and do the cardio if nothing else. But the excuses have been running through my head all morning. I got to get off here so I can get my ass moving.....

And Joe, sorry about you finding those 4 pounds....

Gotta Shout It Out!!

I know you readers probably don't give a crap, but I just gotta say it....

I lost 4 pounds!

I know, it doesn't sound like much. And it took 5-6 weeks to do it. But when you are as large as I have gotten, and trying to get some weight loss as best I can, short of what I consider drastic measures, this is nice to just find out. I had only been doing a very small portion of walking with PT and of course, trying to limit my portion sizes when I eat.

And to think, this is all 'pre-gym', so now that I am going and actually doing something better for me, that includes making me burn this fat (just using the term, I know it really isn't "burning the fat").. I am just a tad bit excited! Makes me feel like something has actually been accomplished, when before I was worried that I didn't "feel" like I lost anything.....

Hey! I feel Good!

On Its Own

Well, it's back to a Monday, and everyone is returning to school and work. I think our new puppy, Daisy, is going to have some readjusting to do. In a good way though. Since she came home Friday, the kids have been around her almost non-stop, picking her up, holding her, playing with her, etc. Now, Rusty (the Spawn of Satan, aka Crack Kitty) and I are the only ones at home. I refuse to watch and wait for every little mistake Daisy makes, or stuff that gets chewed on. They were all warned to put things up that they didn't want her to reach....

It'll be good for her to be alone finally. A bit of exploring of the home, find out what smells interesting (dirty clothes, shoes, maybe some toys and don't forget about any possible food crumbs). Already, Daisy and Rusty are "playing". Yeah, more like Daisy wants to play, and Rusty is still in the "What is that thing?" stage... kind of just staying back enough and staring at her. In a way, it is kind of funny.

Figure a couple more hours and I will be out for the gym. After that good food yesterday, I will need it. Maybe I will remember to weigh myself today. I really should. And then do it like every Monday or something.

That's it. I know, so exciting, right?

Happy Easter

Well, another holiday is here. One where I am headed to Sis' for lunch with family. I am bringing some of the dessert that I was asked to bring, so it is okay. We were told to bring swimsuits as well, though I don't think I will be in the pool. I know the kids would like to be.

We decided on a name for the puppy. It is Daisy. No one really liked my idea, as usual. The toss-ups were Molly, Penny, Daisy, Jasmine, and another one I can't remember at the moment. The kids liked Daisy most, so it was decided. Besides, I figured let them name it so they can curse the name as I am not picking up the shit, and cleaning the piss spots up from their dog.

Yeah, so as you can tell, I am bright and happy this morning.... and still a little sore. I should be okay tomorrow morning to resume at the gym. I will need to after today's lunch I am sure.

Hope you all enjoy your day!

Moving Slow

Yeah, I was prepared for it, and it didn't let me down. I am a bit sore today. Maybe more than an actual 'bit'. Legs not as bad as I thought they may be, which is good. Arms not so bad. Shoulders...ugh. Got too much to do today to make time for the gym, so it looks like Monday before I can get back in. I'll be ready for more pain then.

The Wife brought home the puppy last night. Here's a couple pics.

As you can see, the youngest son loves it already. I must admit, my heart loosened, but only a little bit. We should be picking a name today. The kids have been tossing around Daisy, Molly, and Penny. I am thinking Jasmine, call her Jas for short. She doesn't look like a cow, though my Wife argued with me that she never said those words... yeah right. Either way, she is a Chihuahua/Daschound mix, with unknown breed of papa. She is pretty small and doesn't appear she will overgrow.

Okay, I got an hour to get some coffee and breakfast down before emissions...
