Surprisingly it did help keep me 'in the zone' yesterday for my walk. Plus I was able to time the walk accurately. And I got the average heart rate for the full hour.

Bad cup of coffee though.

Bought a combination watch/heart rate monitor/stop watch/coffee maker this morning. Difficult to operate while running but not too bad overall. No chest strap which I like.

the bonus to the chest strap - other than that dorky look - is you set it and forget it and go back and look at it later... some of us prefer to push other peopel's buttons and cant handle pushing buttons on contraptions :D
 
yeah but to me the chest strap would just be an irritant.
Some of us do not mind being an irritant to others but have an issue when things irritate us. :D

Hope all went well with the depos. :)

All did not go well today. I was asked to manage a very important, company changing project. Sounds great right? Wrong. I need to be in Richmond VA for 3 months. Company policy is to send people home once, twice tops for that time period. I think I can talk them into 2 or 3 more trips home but man do I have a quandary.
On one hand I can get the company a huge contract and be the point man for years to come- if all goes well- but I need to be away from home from July 6- October 8 or stay home and potentially see people pass me by on the food-chain and eventually lose my job. I am assuming this last part, it was never stated to me like that.
Customer is a very large big box store that has never given this kind of work to a 3rd party.
*sigh* I do not want to spend that much time away form my wife and home but it is only 3 months to further my career right? Nothing on a day like this...

Frustrated thy name is Brian. Things were going so well to.


Other than this all is swell :D

Oh Brian - I'm sorry...it does sound like a wonderful opportunity for you in the long haul if you can handle being away from your loved ones for so long...what does your wife say about it?
 
She is actually willing to accept it. She has a few grad classes she is taking this summer. The rest of my friends and family most likely would not even know I was gone. It would suck overall but I think I am going to accept it as long as I get to come home every other week.

It is just too good an opportunity to pass up.

How did your depo go yesterday?
 
I managed to escape without committing any major crimes. The other attorney was not as bad as I thought he would be which could mean that I messed up, could mean that he was medicated or it could mean that he was having a good day.

Now I found out today that his office lied to mine regarding something else so I started to hate him a little again and am sure that I will be back to full hating by the conclusion of the case.

But again, no blood was shed on my watch :)
 
Is that like using the force? hehe - I will definately want horrible things to happen to him, it is like the rising of the tide, guaranteed.

I agree that no blood shed = good day, but then I think back to my thoughts on the office gun policy and there are days when a little bloodshed would be a very good thing :D
 
Frickin 650am and people are already pissing me off.

If I still wanted to be in High school I would go back somehow. Why the hell is this office like a a frickin high school???????

Work from home for 2 days and come back to greater annoyance??

Lord help me today.
 
It is the way of the corporate world - throw a bunch of people together who would never associate themselves with each other under normal circumstances and what do you get?

High school.

Want to revisit my office gun policy? A rifle hanging in your office could act as a deterrent...
 
Made the mistake of telling annoying girl that today was my wedding anniversary....
Oh lord I cannot believe I made that basic error in judgement. Now all she wants to know is what i am doing for it etc......

Actually have work to do all day today so maybe I can close my door and get people to leave me alone.

*sigh*
 
Happy Anniversary :)

It is my friend's also...nice time of year to get married.

Nine years for you, right?

Congrats!
 
Yep.
9 years.
Twas a lovely time to be married. Actually we were very lucky at the time. Rained and was crappy all week before the wedding. The day if it was like 65 and sunny.
Not sure if that was a sign and if it meant anything but.....
 
So my wife is doing the 'biggest loser' thing at her school.
She lost 8.7 lbs according to their scale! I am so proud of her. Somehow she is not the biggest percentage though. The girl across the hall lost 7 somehow and is only 140. I do not think she will be able to keep it up but my wife will!
All she did extra is 30-50 minutes of cardio for 4 days. I know she will not keep this rate of loss up but this is a great start for her.

I am doing fine but I think I will not post a loss this week. Not a issue though- fitness is getting better, strength is getting better and clothes are fitting fantastic right now.
Golf tomorrow morning!
 
So this weekend was not too bad overall- feel like crap warmed over today though....

Finally got my workout area in the basement complete for now and moved everything down there. Played golf Saturday and shot well.
Ran Sunday morning, completed the basement and worked on the lawn. Maybe that is why I feel like shit- too much work......
Ate too much- that I know. I do not really know what my issue is. I am starting to track everything again to know exactly what I am eating. I am getting tired of this guessing crap- I am not smart enough to keep all the numbers in my head.
Went mini shopping this weekend and am so close to fitting into 34" jeans. I do not recall ever buying 34 for myself. I could close and zip but they felt too tight. I was able to buy 36" and wear them with no issues. I couldn't do that with 38" 3 months ago.
Bought one of those super tight running shirts also. Oh my god is it tight but I think I look damn good in it. It really shows how far I have come that I honestly think I look damn good in a shirt so tight it looks like a asecond skin.
The shirt works great when I run- no rubbing issues.

No loss this week but none was expected. I am still fitting into things that I was not so I still feel good.
Need to get my marcos and calories under control though.
 
So you've been ballparking your intake so far? How are you going about tracking things now?
