What's It All About?

Follow me, or better yet join me as I journey into my sixties... enjoying my grandchildren... trying to stay healthy and fit... maybe some traveling and whatever else tickles my fancy.

Vacation's Over

Hey everybody... my vacation is over and it's back to work, in more ways than one. I'm back at my job and I also need to get back to working on my health and wellness. I had almost 2 weeks of care-free eating and drinking and I feel it.

When I went to pick up my tux 2 days before my Daughters wedding I weighed 185.6 lbs. and this morning I was 198.6 lbs.... That's a 13 lb. gain in 2 weeks... and I feel it... on my 2 mile walks for the last couple of nights I felt sluggish and almost out of breath... and I feel bloated.

I know some of that is water weight... probably 5 - 8 pounds of it... that should come off pretty easily in the next few days, but the rest I'll have to work on... I've already started eating clean... back top my normal healthy food fare... but I'm still eating more than I should, so now I'll have to start cutting the calories. I'll have to keep eating the same foods, just less of everything... that means measuring and weighing everything I eat.

And I also need to get on the bike... the dark threatening clouds kept me inside this morning, but it's turning into a nicer day now...  too little, too late for me. Tomorrow looks like rain also... so Wednesday might be the better day to ride. We shall see. Ciao for Now.
