One step back

I keep waiting so late to write that I'm too pooped to think out a whole post.

So all I've got for today is a Weight Watcher's update. I had a bit of a setback this week, which I'm sure had nothing at all to do with spending three days lounging at the lake with my friends, cookout food and beer. Lots of beer.

I am still sticking with the running routine. Tonight I did splits of walking for five minutes and running for five minutes, which I'm sure has nothing to do with how exhausted I am right now. I did the five minute splits for the first time at the lake, and let me tell you the rolling hills and Alabama heat had me screaming profanity inside my head. Running for five minutes sounded near impossible. But I did it, and it was significantly easier tonight without the extra heat. It felt good. And it felt good that it felt good, if you know what I mean.

This time last year was when I started putting on the pounds at a faster rate than ever. As my work schedule gets busier and the holidays approach, I have to try especially hard to lose each and every pound. Hopefully the jogging will help.

Anyway, without further adieu, the total:
-gained 1.4 pounds this week
-minus 6 pounds since the start of Weight Watchers nine weeks ago
-minus about 9.7 pounds since I started keeping track four months ago.

Two steps forward, one step back.
