15 Days Later
It's been a while. Been kind of busy. For me anyway.
The program is going as well as could be expected. The workouts are progressing and I haven't really missed any. I've only been doing 5 a week instead of 6 though. Food-wise, well there have been a lot of good days. But there have also been parties and special occasions. I'm ok with that. That's life. That's what free days are for. I think I did pretty good this weekend all things considered. Although I seem to recall a blackout Saturday evening when I ended up with a couple peanut butter sandwiches. :-)
Back to it yesterday though and it's been ok. I hit the gym both days since it is cold and rainy here. Did a full body weight routine there. I'm a little sore today but not bad. Today I did some track work. A little jogging, some walking, and some sprinting (!) Sprinting is new for me. I'm trying to up that intensity. I was going to take a sauna today but forgot my towel. Oh well, roll with it.
To the beer tour. We went last Wednesday. Started with the Stone Old Guardian Draft Barley wine. I am not a fan of barley wine. This one had lots of flavor but still, not my cup of tea. Or mug of beer if you will. It was I think 11.9 ABV so that was pretty hefty. I followed that up with Stone Imperial Russian Stout. This started off AWESOME. Coffee, beer, Hershey Chocolate Syrup, but it ended up being too much. A little bit went a long way. I don't mind a spoonful of syrup but I don't want to drink 12 ounces of it. Definitely worth a try, maybe even a small after dinner desert glass but way too much of a good thing. I think this was 9+ ABV. The last one we had was the Founder's Rye P A. UGH, I knew I didn't like IPAs but had this anyway just to be sure my tastes haven't changed. It is like sucking on a Christmas tree. No thanks. Again, lots and lots of flavor but none that I care for. This one was I think 7+ABV.
That's it for now. I had forgot my card so we didn't get to do any Scotch this week.
Ha, I'm looking back. I forgot to mention I think I was at 271-272 lbs today. That is a loss of a bit more than 4 pounds in 15 days. I will definitely take that. The cloths do sometimes feel looser. Maybe that's my imagination though. I still need to keep it up. I have some smaller clothes I am trying to fit into before we go to Vegas in a month.
