This seventh week has been a test of my resolve. I've often felt a strong desire to skip working out. But, I have hung in there this week and I stuck to my routine. Looking back, I'm proud of myself for sticking to the plan.

Now, I can fit into pair of jeans that I couldn't get past my thighs. I like that. It's almost like getting a new pair of jeans for free.

Well, better hit the sack-- gotta get up and lift weights in the morning before getting the kids ready for school.

Finished my workout.

I looked up at the night sky afterwards and saw a full-circle halo around the moon.

Nice!

I stayed up really late helping my wife with her homework last night. I didn't wake up early enough to workout as a result. I thought I would get in my workout as soon as I got home from work, but my son needed a lot of help with his homework.

So, now I may stay up late again because I refuse to skip my workout.

My son heard me complain about having to stay up and spend time on homework tonight. To this he replied:

Go workout; I got this.

Sometimes, I think he forgets that he's nine.

And sometimes, I forget, too.

I battled with my first real moment of weakness today concerning exercising. I really didn't want to jog today. And my wife sent me to what-a-burger to get her something to eat. I didn't give in by eating a burger, but they sure smelled good.

I decided to workout afterall, while my family ate. In retrospect, I'm glad I held out!

It's snowing! All the houses, cars, yards, and trees are covered in beautiful white blankets!

No rest for thr weary. My daughter seems to be doing better, but now that she's rested all day, she's wanting to stay up all night. I want to get some rest so that I can do my weight lifting in the morning. I'm tempted to stay up and just get it out of the way, but I'm too sleepy. My wife is working late, and stayed with her most of the early part of the day.

And with all of this, our soccer association wants to double up on games this weekend because weather conditions have caused some cancellations in the second half of this season.

I'm waiting on my little girl to go to sleep. She's fading off . . . I'll be glad for my turn, next.

Too bad the morning will come as soon as I start enjoying my sleep. I wish I could just sleep without anyone waking me for one good night.

My daughter still seems to be sick. My wife will see about her tomorrow by taking her to the doctor.

My wife is really worried. But I think our daughter will be fine.

We're still hanging in there with the exercising and eating better.

Kashi rocks!

Now . . . if I can just get this "sleep" thing down . . .
