Kick ass! Wow. Can I say that I really did not expect to see that this morning. I went slightly above my calorie quota for the day yesterday, but never made it to the gym.
After dinner, we got the kids bathed and read then some books as we attempted to get them to sleep.
It was just after 9p, so I changed into my workout gear. The kids weren’t quite asleep yet, but they were quiet and calm, so I told Rachel that I was headed out. That’s when she told me that she wasn’t feeling well. She’s been having some gallbladder issues recently, so we assumed this was what was bothering her.
She told me that she didn’t feel comfortable at home by herself while the kids were still awake and while she was nauseous. I told her I would hang out until they both fell asleep. This was about 9:30. Looked like it was going to be yet another late night at the gym and very little sleep afterward.
I laid down with Drew, our youngest daughter, who seemed to be the most awake of the two, trying to get her to fall asleep. It worked. Well sort of. She got me to fall asleep too. I woke up around 10:30, got out bed, and tried to perk up to make myself go to the gym.
Fuggetaboutit. I was exhausted. I probably haven’t had more than 5 hours of sleep any night in over a week. So I simply just went back to bed. I was prepared to see no drop in weight this morning, and in fact was even a little concerned about a small gain.
So needless to say, I am very happy with where I am. To remain on target to hit my goal weight by August 30th, I need to be at 220.2 lbs or less this Saturday. Unless I really muck it up today it tomorrow, I’m pretty sure I’ll be ahead of the game by then.
Plus I knocked out another Strong Gator Challenge by getting my weight below 220 pounds! Rock on.
