Limbo

Well, I am currently floating around in diet limbo for the moment. Body For Life was going great. It still is I guess. This last monday began week six. So far it's gone like this: Week one lost two pounds, week two lost three pounds, week three lost three pounds, week four gained one pound, week five lost two pounds, Week six gained three.

Beginning weight 217 lbs. Current weight 211 lbs. Total weight loss = 6 lbs I was down to 208 lbs at one point making a total loss of 9 lbs.

There has been the complication this week of my wife giving birth to our third child ( a boy ). Because of that I have been on the "my wife just had a baby" program, which consists of eating lots of frozen pizza, fruity pebbles, and the only excersice I get is chasing the other two kids around, doing dishes, laundrey, etc.

I am happy to say that the diet is going great otherwise. Those three pounds gained will be gone as soon as I can get my life back into the regular routine. Despite the weight loss, I have also begun to notice an increase in muscularity. Nothing that would blow you away, but changes are taking place. Changes that feel good. I can't wait to get back on it. I think this is going to be the path to my goal, and it feels good to be on that path.

I think that I will allow myself a two or three week extension on the twelve week program to make up for the last two weeks.

The weather has gotten very nice lately. The temps are in the upper eighties the last few days. I have been fondling my paintball gun wishing to get out and play. I have heard that the river bottoms where we usually meet to play is currently under water from the snow run-off. I have a friend that owns some land up in the foothills, several acres, and mentioned to me that we could play there if we want. It would be a little farther to drive, but it would also be a basic private field for us. That would be awesome. I just need to hook up with him, and have him drive me out there, so I can know how to get there.

As far as putting a competitve team goes, I haven't given it as much thought lately. I am a bit discouraged over it. Joe is moving out of state to the Mid West to got to med school. Jon and Ben both live three and four hours away. That just leaves a few of us here to form the team. Hopefully I can do some major recruiting this summer and come up with at least five or six guys who'd be interested in joining the team. Maybe by Fall we can actually start some serious team training.

Anyway, once the baby situation gets squared up, and life gets back to normal a little bit, I will schedule the first game of the year. Although it probably won't be eveyone else's first game.
