I did a four mile run today...in the snow and wet and ick. Boy do I feel

happy I didn't stay in bed and blow it off.

Now T-Day eating can be guilt free!

I hope everybody has a splendid Thanksgiving. Enjoy your blessings.

I'm sending a special message to who has one of the most positive,

enthusiastic attitudes of anyone I know. I know you will be missing a very

special angel (especially) today and it might be kind of tough. You are in my

thoughts buddy. My you be blessed today.

Good to see you back in this group. We have any others that are

easing back onto the wagon now, or maybe after the first of the year?

Yikes, what did I sign up for (or not sign up for?)

Survived Turkey Day, ate lots of crap. Can finally walk normal again

(after squats/presses/SL deads). Got the rest of my workouts in.

Biceps have finally healed, took it easy on them today. Ate pretty good

too, but will get strict again on Monday...so to speak. At my last job,

I could take a morning break to eat my cottage cheese and oatmeal...I

don't have any idea what will be allowed at my new gig, it seems like

that might not fly there, so I'll have to see. They do have a couple

break rooms with fridges.

Brett,

What you officially - unofficially signed up for will be the longest

thread ever on the BFL email web site. Today is day 6 of 84 for this

" It's not a race " contest. I'm not sure, otherwise, what to say it is

except, maybe, additional motivation for Jack, Jeff, you and me.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! ...I hear it's good for cardio

and lower back exercises. I guess I'll be finding that out soon enough,

too.

As for the mid morning meals... There is always an option of a protein

bar. I'll grab them when I find myself tight on time. They have more

fat, but, some (like the Storm bars) are pretty tasty and with enough

water, filling too.

BTW... After my weigh-in yesterday, I think I must be in the dead last

position. With the little extra (okay LOTS extra) holiday and stress

eating, I gained 3 pounds of net weight. The only saving grace is that

the mybodycomp.com site suggests it's all " fat free mass " gain. I

wonder if they do that on holiday weeks just to make you feel better?

Anyhow, I've also cycled off the creatine last week and I'm definitely

feeling it today. I'm not pressing as much weight or as many reps as

just a week ago. In addition, I am feeling a lot more of the

" good pain " from the workouts. Not as much as the very first time I

cycled off, but, enough to feel a little stiff.

Eeee - gads! Cycled off the creatine AND gained 3 pounds! Uh - oh!

Back to the basics starting tomorrow!

I've also been doing a little more of my " parental " stress eating,

again. With the change in weather, my 7 year old son, Jimmy, has had

serious trouble with his asthma this week. We ended up at Children's

Hospital of Philadelphia yesterday, four months to the day after our

daughter 's passing. ..NOT a pleasant reminder.

After lots of IV fluids and round the clock treatments, Jimmy is doing

worlds better today and our family's mood, once again, has recovered.

We hope to have him back home with us by tomorrow or Tuesday at the

latest. The tag teaming and overnight stays with him at the hospital

has worn us down a little more.

Anyhow, back to the family fun house. Talk to you all later.

Remember...

Progress, not perfection!
