Feeling better today.  The sky is already brighter right now than it was at it’s brightest yesterday. I don’t like complaining about the weather down here because we have it far better than most, having not seen any snow except for the sort that disappears five feet above the ground, but this cold and rain is for the birds.  It doesn’t bother me most of the time, but it has been so overcast that I’m damn near falling asleep on the hour long drive home and so by the time I get home, I’ve got headache, am cranky and in dire need of a nap.  This is, obviously, no good for my new, healthier lifestyle.

I powered-through my morning 20 minutes and added another 5 minutes of various crunches afterward to supplement loss in my tummy area (so ready for it to at least start to leave).  Off to work.

So, I just posted the last three posts quite hastily seeing as I’d put them off until now.  I’ll be honest; I totally wussed-out this morning.  Yesterday, I was awake way early, so I did a half an hour on Wii Fit Plus and then did some crunches on my own that I used to do when I was in high-school.  During my time in Wii Fit Plus, I attempted a new exercise, ST-Balance Bridge.  I was really feeling muscle tightness in my triceps and forearms during church services.  After doing my time in Cardio Workout after church, I really started to feel the crunches.  Saturday, I had also done some ducking challenges where they tell you to bend your knees, don’t just double-over at the waist and that combined with Sunday morning’s Wii Fit Cycling, Hula-Hoop and Obstacle Course, by last night, my legs were screaming.

Well, screaming probably isn’t the correct word.  I wasn’t in pain, really; just feeling fatigue in those muscles.    I did some stretching this morning before work and feel more loosened-up.  Hoping to get in at least 30 minutes tonight.  Also hoping to break this plateau that I have hit with regards to the weight-loss.

Hopped back on Expert Course Cycling first thing this morning.  Found that flag that eluded me after some searching.  Once I found it, I was a little irritated that I couldn’t find it last night because I was on the right track once and thought I needed to take a different path and completely bypassed it.  Anyway, it has been conquered.  One day, maybe later today, I will try to complete some of the other courses since I know where all the flags are now.

Day 18/27 – Part 2

The sun came out this afternoon and I felt quite energized.  Turned on Wii Fit as soon as I got home.  Tried to complete the Expert Cycling Course.  ‘Cycled’ for 46 minutes until I gave up.  I found 15 of 20 of the checkpoints.  I knew where 4 of the remaining 5 were but this one taunted me from it’s perch and I could never find it, so I took my fit credits and went home.  Note to self:  Must find map of WaHu Island…

This week has been awful for my workout/weight-loss campaign.  Tuesday, I had a migraine that knocked me out for a couple hours; skipping my workout, I ate later and paid for it in the morning weigh-in.  Wednesday, I was back on track, but yesterday… Yesterday, was damn-near falling asleep at the wheel on the drive home.  When I got to the apartment, I intended to rest my eyes for a little bit and doze until 7, at which time I could get up and do my Cardio Workout before eating dinner at 7:30 and watching Supernatural at 8.  No such luck.  I literally passed-out as soon as my head hit the pillow and didn’t even consider waking up until 7:45 when Levi tried to give me goodnight hugs and kisses; even then, I didn’t tune-in until Amanda had ushered him off because I was obviously asleep.

Maybe it’s the new hours I’ve been keeping in the mornings, waking up at 5:30, but I do it on my own without an alarm, so one would think that my body was getting enough sleep.  Then again, it could be the heavy amounts of stress I’ve been under dealing with this maybe-short-sale/probably-foreclosure.  I attribute my headache to that on Tuesday and hope I don’t have another one today.  We find out whether or not we got anywhere this morning/afternoon/whenever I’m told to call them.  One way or another, I will have some sort of closure.

As far as I’m concerned, I’m more interested in seeing the Fat percentage drop than the weight.  I’m glad to just barely be in the 50%’s.

Got home at a decent time tonight and without any crippling headaches.  Fired up “Cardio Workout” and powered-through half an hour or so while I waited for my roommates to get home from having their taxes done.

Those that follow regularly will note that I did not post a Part 2 for yesterday.  I suffered a horrible migraine that started at about 3:30 and lasted through the drive home and then some.  I came home and immediately took cover in my room, which by then was well dark and shielded me from most of the noise of the rest of the apartment.  Cowering there until almost 8:30, I finally emerged from my hole and felt somewhat better, ate a late dinner and watched the Season 5 finale of LOST in prep for the Season 6 premiere that was recording on the DVR.  This morning, I felt well-rested and had no traces of a headache.  Getting up extra early, I thought I might be able to cram in an hour or so of LOST before leaving for work, but something happened and it didn’t record right.  It’s listed in my recorded list, but the box freaks out when I try to play it.  Anyway, I’m going to hit Cardio Workout again tonight before I go to bed and try to do some walking today.

Speaking of LOST, I usually stay out of the loop in the off-season and don’t really look for clues on the web or anything of that nature.  This morning was the first time I’d seen this:

The LOST Supper

And I was fondly reminded of:

Cylon Messiah

Apparently the Sopranos did this, as well, but I could care less about that show.

Here’s to another day.
