WGOM Fitness: August 30, 2012
Normally, when I come to ND it is for eight days straight. This trip, and the next, are for three days, meaning that I will be going home tonight. While there is certainly some advantage to the three day trip (more time at home with family), in actuality, the three day trip is very hard on me. The working a full day and driving 250 miles is a long day and it takes me a little while to recover from that. With the three day trip, I have no time to recover. Add in a trip to Bismarck in between the two travel days and, well, I'm really worn out. I've stayed pretty true to the diet these last couple of days, but the title of this column isn't WGOM Dieting, its WGOM Fitness. I look forward to a couple of days at home, going to the gym and not driving 275 miles a day. Also, hate to say it, but an eight day trip wouldn't be the worst thing in the world right now.
I weighed on my parents' scale at it said 267.0 this morning. But, I know that it weighs a little heavy, so I don't really put much stock in it (I "lost" 3.5 pounds) the last time I weighed at home the day after I weighed in SBGville. The better news is that I have hitched the belt in two notches from where I was.
Day: 37
Weight: 267.0
Pounds lost: 17.5

Miles Kurosky – Beulah Medley
A lot of bands claim to be the last band before the internet. Beulah is probably the best of them.

youtube user tao9940 has a bunch of videos of desperate fans asking Miles Kursoky, Beulah frontman, to remember them. He doesn't.

WGOM Fitness: August 29, 2012
The hardest part of my current fitness plan is enduring days like yesterday. I got up at 3:30AM, drove 275 miles, worked a full day, drove another 200 miles and ended up in a hotel room in Bismarck. I wasn't really all that tired (although I slept pretty soundly last night), but I had no opportunity to exercise and eating was a foraging event. Well, actually, it wasn't that bad, I had breakfast in my kitchen and a lunch according to my diet. But, what about dinner? I was traveling with another person and we stopped on the way at Applebee's (did not see @dadboner there). It turns out that they have a few 550 calorie offerings on the menu. I had a lime chicken offering. It wasn't great, but it wasn't awful for me, either.
In the past, I have brought workout clothes to hotels to take advantage of workout rooms. Due to the schedule here, though, I didn't bother. I knew I would be taxed to the nth degree as it is. Besides, I'll be home Thursday night, so I can get back on the workout routine then.
No weigh in, but I'm pretty happy that I was able to stay on track yesterday.
August 29, 2012: Bad Habits
Skim, thanks to her amazing ability to tell little white lies before bed, found out yesterday that she has some pretty bad cavities in one of her baby teeth. We've been trying to stay on her about stuff like this, but hopefully this will make her want to change...
