The Yo-Yo ride that is body weight.

Took the kids climbing for the first time in three weeks, that’s six missed sessions, and I’m still eating the same without the total body work-out so I’m back up about 10 lbs once again. Not my proudest moment to be back up close to the heaviest I have ever been. Not my finest moment. And no I didn’t substitute my lack of climbing for using weights, calisthenics or bike riding, or swimming while I wasn’t roped in at the climbing gym. My bad. I’m being lazy. In my defense the temps were up into the forties, we went to the cottage to get it opened up, and we travelled west for a week, and then the northern forest fires have made the air damn near toxic, so I haven’t gotten outside to do anything physical in a hot minute. Still my own short coming, but I had a myriad of reasons to not get outside.

It is now Sunday and the heat is turned down about ten or so degrees, the air quality is better, so I bet we’ll go pull up garlic for a few hours today. Can only out run our farming obligations for so long. Best find the widest brimmed hat that I own to keep the sun off my neck and face. Don’t want to add a sunburn to my overall bloated heaviness.

The traveling has also stopped our daily dog walks too, so that has only added to my sedentary weight gain. At the cottage the dog is free to roam the acreage and chase things to his heart’s content, so I don’t actively walk him all that much, and he didn’t come out west with us. Then my spouse took him back to the cottage for the week while I was working on a report, and the aforementioned heat and air quality kept me inside the house, seated, and working at my desk for large portions of the day.

I was living life in a veal stall, just getting fat. Ha! Doesn’t take long for those hard lost pounds to slide back into place and then some. Back to drinking more water, and being more persistent with free weights, squats, push-ups, sit ups and being active out of doors. It’s a struggle. One I’m not all that fond of truth be told. But it’s one I’m stuck with until I get it sorted, and manage to keep it that way.

Looks like I need to build out a new habit like I did with daily writing here on the blog. I may need to do some thinking, testing and experimenting in order to find something that works without being too over the top, all consuming, or expensive. Follow along as I waste everybody’s time doing a bunch of stupid shit as I try to lose weight — again. Nah!
