So my wife, my sister and I were all geared up to run last night. We all met at my house, my wife's mom took our daughter so we could go work out. We got into the car and started on our way to the gym. On the way there we were talking about what we wanted to eat. We decided on La Hacienda and then started talking about what we were going to get there. We were all pretty hungry to say the least but we knew that we had to work out before we go eat. Then halfway there, my sister reminds us of something important that we had to do first! So I had to turn the car around, go back to the house and get some things.We took care of the business we had to do and started our way back to the gym. On the way there we decided that we would rather eat now since we just wasted time on going back to the house. So here we go into La Hacienda in our work out clothes which look amazingly not worked out in. We got our table and we ate. Afterwards we got ice cream. Needless to say, the gym was not graced by our presence last night. The only time we saw the gym was driving by it to go to Braum's for ice cream!
It was good to have a night like that every once in a while. Although it wasn't what we planned, it didn't, by any means, ruin my diet and plans to get to 180. I am at 194 this morning which is awesome! I should hopefully be at 193 by the the weekend. I am going to run tonight, take tomorrow off, 5k on Saturday morning, and then golfing afterwards so a pretty good weekend coming up. I would love to be below 193 on Monday but we will see. My biggest accomplishment is maintaining on the weekends.
I am so pumped about going to Florida this year. If you knew me you would know that I don't normally get excited about trips until the day we leave but for some reason this one is different. Maybe it's because I have worked so many hours the past couple of months that a week with just my family in another state without having to worry about IT stuff is just what the doctor ordered. I love my job, don't get me wrong at all, it's just when I jumped into this position it was right in the middle of expansion season and I had to put a lot of hours in away from my family. Everything should slow down by the new year. I don't know what I am going to do with myself with a normal work week! It could also be that I am going to run on the beach this year no matter what! It's still a dream to do that and I had my chance last year but it was so cold and windy. That doesn't matter this year. After this trip I will be able to check that goal off.
On a side note about our glorious trip to La Hacienda: my sister does not believe that I can still eat like a mad man! I tried to tell her that I still have the fat man inside me that wants to eat all the time, I just suppress him but if you give me food and tell me to eat as much as I want then it's game on! So her proposition to me is a pizza challenge. She doesn't think I can finish 2 large pizzas anymore. When I was bigger it would no thing for me and even now I don't think it will be a challenge. So when I get to 180 and start running just to maintain and not lose, she is going to put 2 large pizzas in front of me, give me a time limit and see if I can finish it. I say bring it on. I will unleash my inner competition eater and go to town. So this is "to be continued!" First things first, 180 and maintain.
