It’s Saturday!

Well, as if you needed reminding.  Maybe I do.

Anyway, how are y’all?  We’ve had a busy and mildly productive morning.  Oil change, car washed, my wife mowed the lawn.  (I’ll pause so you can appreciate just what a great woman I have.)

Okay, then we went to The Mall and found – socks.  See, a thrill a minute, right?  Then Target for a birthday card for a friend.  Now home to make lunch (my wonderful wife again, if it were me?  It’d be ‘gettios.  No, she cooks.

Then I have an hour or two to figure out how to pipe music onto my MP3 player – I messed it up kindasorta on purpose.  See the Iriver T10 has issues with playlists unless you subscribe to some online music service, which I don’t – I have hundreds of CD’s and don’t see the need to pay again for the same songs.  Also?  It has a radio if I get desperate.  So I’ll mess with it, but food comes first.

Speaking of which, I’ve gained four pounds this week.  Grunt. Sigh. Gah.
Update: maybe not as bad as I thought, sorta.  I’m up 2.6 pounds since last Saturday, the thing is I had lost over a pound early in the week and gained it back and then some.  Maybe.  It’s just a number, right?  RIGHT?

    Gained four pounds and wife mowed lawn……… Bowing out gracefully here. I’m sure you will more than make up for it this week. Just for the record I always mow the lawn…….

    Exactly right, just like age is a number. We really do put too much stock in numbers. I think you should go with 2.6, don’t worry about the previously lost pound, maybe he was just lonely.

    I visualize four sticks of butter on a chain around my neck. Like a one-pound necklace. That way I’m not so discouraged when I’ve only lost one pound.
    Trust me, pretty soon, your body will get on board with the whole ‘getting healthy’ idea, give up on you and migrate to a more conducive enviroment (AKA a gastric bypass candidate). You’re in it for the long haul! Don’t let little slips lead to your ultimate defeat.

    Weight can bounce around 5 to 10 lbs. or maybe that’s just women, but I wouldn’t worry about it. Just get out there & walk a couple extra blocks or ride your bike a little longer. You’ll be ok but either way, we all love our silly old bear! )
