My legs felt like jello after just one hour of pulling thistles and stinging nettles from the strawberry patch. We managed to clear up half of the two rows we’ve got, and the all season berries are at it again, with a good showing of fruit. Not that it’s anywhere near as full as the end of June, but pretty decent for a second showing in the same summer. My hamstrings, quads, and lower back are all singing a song of pain and aches today. Just in case I wanted to forget that I am in fact a man in his forties, who does not do manual labour for a living. Oh, I never forget that fact. My body won’t let me.
I am on day four of exercising at least once per day. Nothing too special. I still have not gotten out on my bike, nor roller blades, or my long board skate board for that matter. The chubbiness is ever present. I was hovering down around 203Lbs, and then was up to 210lbs in the blink of an eye. I also need to stop eating after 8:00pm at night. Shouldn’t be too difficult. I can drink water to stop me needing to snack in the evenings.
I just don’t know why I don’t attack the weight loss with the same vigor that I do writing everyday. Maybe I need to tie them together, so that I do one in order to do the other. As it is almost a compulsion now, to continue the writing streak. Not sure that’s healthy. But, eh! What am I going to do?
First partial week of school done. Still have some adjusting to do. Some extra curriculars should begin soon, so that should help smooth over the transition from summer break. We will have to see if it takes the full three weeks like I suspected it will. Anyway. Enjoy your saturday. Oh a birthday shout out to two of my brothers. Born two years apart, but on the same day no less. Happy birthday!
