Day 7, 2008
250/244/200
August 24, 2006 Day 7 of 100 days. Still 6 pounds gone. I got on my scale this morning and was still at 244 pounds. Too bad! I'm sure that within several days, I will be below that. Had a few more calories yesterday that I should have, especially as we took my mother-in-law out to dinner. I had a veggie burger for dinner, and overall went over my calorie target. Much, much better than I would have been a month ago, however. I walked up a nearby hill today wearing 10 pound ankle weights on each ankle. 600 feet climb--a little more than that, actually, as part of that was going downhill before continuing uphill. Absolutely excellent exercise for the 31 minutes I was doing it! I was puffing like a steam engine at the end of it. My far better half was kind enough to pick me up at the top and drive me back down. (In the future I will be driving and leaving a bike at the top and walking up to the bike, and then taking the bike down to my car.) Beautiful day here! About 75° and sunny. I have to go to a party tonight and am bringing a rather high calorie dish along with me. I hope to eat very little of it, if any, and will stick to 0 calorie soda instead. There is a great story about the tennis player, Bill Tilden. A publisher wanted him to write a book on tennis and Mr. Tilden came up with a motto, "Never change a winning game." The publisher contacted him and said that this might be good for half a book, but there must be more to it than that. Tilden thought and thought and then sent him another idea, and the publisher was thrilled with that. The idea that Mr. sent was, "Always change a losing game.” And that reminds me of the story of the fellow who shows up for work day after day, sweating like a fiend in the sun, and every lunchtime opening his sandwich and swearing because it is baloney. So his friend Joe, says, "Frank! Every day you're working hard, and you're really sweating like mad. And then you open your lunchbox and you're getting real mad because you see it's baloney. If you do not like baloney, why not ask your wife to make you something else?" And then Frank says to Joe, "What wife? I make my own sandwiches!" If we don't like the sandwiches were finding our lunchbox that we have prepared ourselves, maybe it's time to change the sandwiches. I hope everyone has a great week and a great month ahead! I hope we can all be good enough for long enough to improve our health and our outlook! Yours, Caleb |
