Yesterday was very, very good.  It was soooo good in fact, that it was baad.  Christmas day started off as planned, pajamas, coffee, pancakes & eggs, movies, and phone calls to family and friends - that was supposed to be it.  Three family dinner visits, lots of love & laughter and a day later, we now have a week’s worth of food and desserts that will keep us both chained to the cardio machines…or else!  Now these desserts, they aren’t your run of the mill frozen or catered fare.  We’re talking about, from scratch: three different pound cake: One, a lemon glazed poundcake that resurrected my dead grandmather and brought tears to my eyes, peach cobbler, my own paranormal sweet potato pie, and red velvet cake!  …the kind of food that will reduce any civilized linguist to prehistoric grunts and groans!

I will be a regular in the gym from now until my last days  which isn’t so bad, but I just want to make sure I get some results out of it.  Motorcyclists say, "Live to Ride";   Bicyclists say, "Ride to Eat"; and I can now apply that one to myself as well, only instead of riding, I’ll be on the cardio machines until….

So, instead of beating myself up for enjoying some Divinely inspired food, I will simply take responsibility for my actions and pay my dues.

Man, it sucks being sick.  I managed to get a bad head cold and it’s kicking my a$$ right now.  No workout today and I spent the day on the couch coughing & sneezing with body aches.  I’m trying to make sure I keep my water intake up or even increase it. 

Unfortunately, my diet has sufferred greatly the past couple of weeks.  I’ve been struggling with keeping my meals on schedule and getting enough protein and the right kind of carbs…that may have something to do with why I’m sick right now.
