Weight Check

So I find myself in a position of not being able to do any real cardio exercise due to my disc problem, and it will probably be quite a while until I can start doing something; I’ll never be the same again.

So given my sedentary habits, I’ve put on some weight, as one might expect.  I’m going to try and control my eating habits (since that’s about all I can do) and try and get my weight down.

A mostly enjoyable long weekend.  Saturday morning was spent garage saleing and we were rewarded with lunch at Olive Garden.  Grilled up some beef (rib roast) for dinner; probably over-spiced it, but still enjoyed.  We ate out on the deck and my back is just not ready for that (our chairs and table are low so I need to hunch over to reach the table).  All in all, I had some inflammation flare-ups throughout the weekend.  When I felt good, I felt great; when I had a flare-up I felt miserable.

On Sunday we went over to a BBQ in the next neighborhood.  The kids had fun running around and playing with the other kids.  There would be a time where I’d feel the need to be constantly supervising everything but I’m more at ease now and trusting.  I ate way too much food and paid for it by not sleeping overly well.

Monday H (and Pauline) were in the local memorial day parade with her daisy girl scout troop.  MJ and I staked out a great viewing location.   Afterwards we went over to visit with BC & AC, whom we hadn’t seen in quite a while.  BC is due a few weeks after Pauline so it will be nice to have baby girls roughly the same age.

Last night I put in “Play: The Videos” by Peter Gabriel, which I had borrowed from the library.  I was pretty underwhelmed.  I’ll watch concert videos until I pass out but my interest for “pre-packaged” MTV-style videos is pretty low at this point.

Today is code-freeze day for our current sprint so I need to get moving…
