Weekly update…
Dad was down 2.6 lbs. so he is back at a 201.6 lbs. loss, which is 11.6 lbs. from the goal the doctor has set for him. I continued a terrible trend and was up .2 lbs. Which means I am up 13.3 lbs. from 3 months ago. So not only have I basically had a huge opportunity cost by not loosing, I have backed up 13.3 lbs.! That is horrible. I can tell in my workouts that my eating is off because I am just dragging through them. I don’t feel that extra something there when working with the kettlebells, biking, or swimming. BUT…this morning I came home and prepared a clean and absolutely healthy breakfast for my group. Fruit Smoothie in the Vita-mix, and egg white omelet with veggies and turkey sausage. I am traveling a bunch this coming week, but as I told me wife, if I can get through today that will propel me to a good week. Workouts will be tough to fit in as I am driving for two days, and then have another trip to Chicago mid week. But next Friday we are headed to the Daniel Island house to vacation with ALL the family. I am sure to have a great week there because the fitness center there is world-class, and my whole family will be at the pool all day and taking the nightly bike rides behind my Dad as he smokes his evening cigar. (looks like a daddy duck and 15 or so chicks weaving around the island…) I am looking forward to a vacation with my family! Matthew was up .6. Mark is in FL working so he didn’t weigh-in.
Have a great week! I would appreciate any prayers that I would re-gain the focus needed to complete this task!

Remember that everyone has ups and downs - it’s part of life and to be expected. As long as you stay focused more often than not you will reach your goals. Stick with it!
