80 Sticks of Butter: Not today

Not today

Yesterday I thought it was a cold.

Today I'm thinking it's allergies. Either way I'm feeling droopy and grumpy.

And on top of it I had a 12 hour work day. So no gym for me today.

But I will go tomorrow!

My gym bag is packed.

The alarm is set.

Come hell or high water or sniffles I am going to get in 45 minutes of cardio on Wednesday.

But for now, if y'all will excuse me, I really need to get some sleep. G'night.

Cold or allergies I don't like the itchy eyes, sneezes or sniffles. Even worse when you're working such long hours. I admire your committment to exercise. Have a great workout tomorrow. Hope you feel 100% soon.

The Story of 80 Sticks of Butter

A number of years ago, a dear friend of mine just starting on her weight loss journey was seeing a nutritionist. During the first week, my friend reported the loss of her first 2 pounds, saying, "Well, it's just 2 pounds," to which the nutritionist responded, "You sound like this is no big deal! Think of it this way - 1 pound equals 4 sticks of butter...so you just lost the equivalent of 8 sticks of butter!" Quite a unique way of looking at shedding pounds.

As of August 16, 2010, I have lost the equivalent of 80 sticks of butter (I'll let you do the math...) However, I still have many more sticks yet to lose. This is a record of my journey.
