I made sure I did my weight lifting today. I didn't want to do it, but I made myself. I took my daughter to soccer practice and spent time with my son while she was with her team. Any cardio that I missed, was made up for today running around with my son.

He falls a lot when he plays soccer. Tonight, I found out why: he tries to trip his opponent when he can't get the ball.

I learned the hard way when he sent me straight into the dirt.

Glad I've been active lately, or that fall would have resulted in some serious injury for me.

Allergies are here; My nose is running like a fucking faucet.

Allergy medication?

What's that?

Well, I didn't get to work-out today. I woke up late, but figured I'd have time this evening.

Nope. I had to work some overtime. Didn't get home until after 23:00.

Looks like I'll have to do double-duty later this week.

I was just telling my friend how I was still sticking with it, too.

It just goes to show that you have to take care of first things, first.

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!
