The Bad Week(s)
Hey guys.. I know I didn’t make my weekly update last weekend and I thought for sure I’d get to it.. nope never did.. so I think I upset some people in not posting an update.. so I am squeezing a little of it in now.. what a rough week and a half I have had.. not only my move, but I was with Tom last week.. and as you know with Tom comes eating bad and the feeling like crap that follows.. ok, I just happen to play golf with my friend Tom, but when we are out and about the eating bad is the same.. I pack a lunch, all proper like, and of course he never brings a thing.. so we eat out.. I am sort of stuck… granted I could order a salad.. and rightfully should have.. but you know, I just haven’t gotten as far as I wanted with results so I’m right on the edge of slip ups.. like walking on that line.. and for 5 weeks I was literally hanging out on that line.. ok I had a really long balance pole, but still on the line.. and then there’s the Tom ordeal.. he’s sitting there shaking the line!! until I fall.. fall right into a vat of greasy food.. ok I went a little too far with the analogy there, but I think you all know what that’s like.. well most of you.. not only all that but other life issues got involved or have been involved so the last week+ has been crappy.. I’d really like to use another adjective but this is a family show!!..
As for my results.. I finished the full 6 weeks, albeit 2 weeks late, but I was down in BF% only .1 and plus 2.5 pounds.. go figure.. I know fluctuations will occur and I’m ok with this given what my week has been like.. if I can at least maintain until I get back hardcore again then I won’t have to redo what I just did..
of all the weeks to have a crappy week it had to be the last one and this one.. everyone blew by me with the challenges and I let myself get left in the dust.. now 30+ people all in awesome shape and like half entering contests it would be crazy to think I can keep up and of course here I am, missed the beginning of not just one but two challenges.. it was fun while it lasted and I’ve had a good run.. pleased with what I did even though pics won’t show it nor will measurements I assume… just my belt and shirts and shorts..
Well, I don’t know what else to write.. that’s my lame update and pretty much everything else is a dud.. I guess while my life is in shambles, I somehow was able to get away and visit the BS (BodySpace) world.. but it’s the other 23+ hours of the day that have sucked… and it can’t be returned in exchange of another one.. lol…
