Body for Life Challenge Week 11

With one week to go I'm back down to 189 (I started 11 weeks ago at
195.) It's a see-saw these days, sometimes I'm up, someetimes I'm
down. My measurements are slowly crawling down, though, so I know that
the slow fat loss is real.

I worked out four days this week, but one day I worked out twice. It's
unusual for me to miss three days but I was up against a client deadline
and I swore I wouldn't leave my desk until I finished it. I was
physically CRAVING a workout and it was just killing me to miss it on
Wednesday. I ended up being up until 3:30 am to finish the project. I
was so tired the next day that my workout looked endangered then, too.

But I played a tried and true trick on gullible ole me. You know
those people who are indolently riding a recumbant bike without raising a
sweat? I figured I could go to the gym and at least do a workout like
that. But when I got there, all suited up for exercise, I wasn't able to
let myself just do something wussy. I ran a few miles on the treadmill,
instead. I felt much more energetic afterwards. (But I did go to bed
early that night.)

There are almonds in the house and those are the focus of my next week's
efforts. I must avoid the almonds. No almonds. Bad almonds. (MMMMmmmm,
almonds!)

Oh, and my other challenge: I'm single parenting three kids this week. It
could make finishing this BFL challenge more difficult - if I let it.
