This week has been one of those weeks where you can say that nothing all that bad happened but it was filled with annoyances, stresses, and aggravations. The only thing that got me through the week was knowing that I was taking today (Friday) off. Well guess who is at work? Me being here today, however, will hopefully pay off big time. Not pay off in terms of money or respect but pay off with more time. Time is good. Money would have been better.
So I will spill the bad news first. I gained. It wasn't a horrible gain, just 0.6 lbs. But I do put the blame fully on James. For dinner on Wednesday, he made homemade beer battered fish and onion rings. ONION RINGS!!! Sweet crispy, oily, fried goodness dipped in ranch dressing is a major weakness. You may be asking me, "Well it's not really James' fault. You didn't have to eat them. And if you did you didn't have to eat so many that you thought your stomach would explode." And to you, I say, SHUT UP. It was his fault...all his fault. 100%. His fault. Yup.
The good news is that it probably could have been worse. I finally did hit the gym here at work on Monday. I just simply walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes. On Wednesday, I decided to do 3 minutes walking and 2 minutes running. And you know what? I surprised myself and did it! I know 2 minutes is no marathon but it is the baby steps that I need to take so that I can hopefully survive this run/obstacle course I signed up for.
The scariest part of all this is that I actually want to exercise again. Like, I am looking forward to going to the gym after work today. This can only be called a phenomenon, perhaps a full blown miracle if I keep this attitude up.
Lessons learned: onion rings are soooo good and totally worth .6lbs as long as it doesn't happen every week.
