Weigh In Time

Weigh In: 336.5

Long day today, but I finally got to the gym around 5:30-6:00. The one thing that I really, really hate about working out at Ballys during that time is the masses of people. It's insane in there. First off, that's 'rush hour' in the gym with people getting off of work, multiply it by 50 by the number of people who go to the gym for January and part of February as part of their 'resolution', and then they're not seen again until next January.

Other than that, the workout went well. I worked out like a man possessed today. It felt great.. of course that means that I'm paying for it right now.

So, I did my weigh in, and today's weigh in day. My five-day average is down to 337.75, which is fantastic. My big debate in my mind is, how do I record that on the blog? Do I round up, or do I round down? I think I'm going to round down, only because 337 is the number that reads on the scale. Not exactly the most scientific method, but I'm a music major, I can only count to 4 anyway.

So, the new blog is Fourth and 87. Not a huge jump, but considering that the 6th and 7th day average was 341, it's an accomplishment. Now, to keep on the bandwagon, keep busting my tail in the gym, keep eating healthy, and this weight's going to come off. Today is January 15, which means I have 16 more days to take 7.75 pounds off of my average so I can be on target to be under 300 by March 31st, the day I turn 30. It's a hell of a challenge, but with a reward worth everything in the world.

This isn't the most exciting blog in the world, but at least my number's down, right?

I woke up feeling stiff as a board this morning. Since I did a workout later in the day, it's scary to think I'm going to get back in the gym here in a bit to do more cardio. I was walking around like an old man this morning.

No pain, no gain, right? In a wierd way, I actually *LIKE* hurting the morning after a workout - it means it's working.


Nancy - It was fun going to see your dad. I'm just glad he remembered me after all these years ;)

Great work, Rob. Another 7,000 calories got their asses kicked.

As for the math, anything .4 or under should round down, .5 or over should round up. But that's in Mathland, this is Tuckerville, baby. You make the rules.
