I made it to the gym on Friday but it was a struggle. I was very tired but managed to do my usual workout. I weighed in at 204 lb. Today I weigh in at 203 lb. I was too tired last night to get online and write this blog so it’s a day late, but I did go and that is the important part.

I weighed 204 lbs this morning. My diet is not even a “diet” right now and I’m just going to focus on the gym and get my food in order when I have a bit more money in a week or so.

I was busy working out and also busy organizing things in my mind. I figured out what to eat on the new diet I’m making up. It needs to be very inexpensive, practical and easy to follow.

I also worked on what to add to my blog under the iPod section. This was prompted by the semi slow track I was working out to. I was hoping the new OrbitalGrooves podcast would be high energy music to help me work out but it was more middle to low energy music. Not bad but very slow to start and then never really hit the peak I needed it to. Plus I like more vocals and this was pretty much music only.

Look for some additions to the iPod section soon!

First off, my weight after a “naughty” weekend of eating: 205 lbs. I went to the gym and did my workout and had a hard time finding the right tune to motivate me. It was a bit off today, but I muddled through the workout and did all my exersies to the fullest.

When I got home I left the car on the drive and prepared the house for Fall weather. I took both hoses into the garage, Shannon’s bike (left in the backyard for over a month now), and pulled the chicken wire fence off the deck and rolled it up and placed it down in the basement. I also took the two rotting rugs that have sat rolled up on the drive for about a month (we are so white trash) and put them in the refuse heap in the backyard to eventually get taken to the dump.

I dragged the 4′ x 8′ MDF board covered in mold from the garage and onto the heap. It was such a waste to have it get ruined in the basement with one of our water leaks. It was suppose to be the “replacement” to the current office desk I built. I’ll have to buy a new piece of MDF and give it another go in the spring.

I pulled all the staples out that I used to hold the chicken wire onto the deck. Sweat was dripping from my forehead and nose while I did this. I was getting a second workout!

I weighed 202 lbs and went to the gym again. It was a good workout but there were too many people there tonight. I had to rearrange my workout to get to the equipment I wanted.

Shannon and I went to a Mexican restaurant recommended by my supervisor at work. It was very tasty but the music was alarmingly loud and I think everyone was giving us looks (not in a good way).

Okay, I need to modify my diet. Today I weighed 203 lbs. The gym was mostly empty due to the rainy weather. Good! Less competition for equipment!

I really like my iPod for working out! I had a great selection to listen to and it really motivated me to work on the elliptical trainer for 20 minutes as oppose to my usual 15 minutes. And I was really working at it too!

Tonight they are going to draw my PowerBall numbers. Just warning everyone that I will be rich and powerful on Thursday. The amount is up to $340 million dollars!
