Back on the saddle again....

We went to Tired Hands Brewing yesterday. It's an amazing gastropub. Meal choices are fairly small, but Tired Hands makes its own thick, artisan bread. You can order the bread & pickles platter, but even if you order something else, bread is a staple with every menu choice. We went in a group of four, but let's face it, mainly John and I housed most of the food. I had three 8 oz beers (not too bad), but probably had a half-loaf of bread. It was so amazing though.

Today, I went to the gym and did some intervals of running and walking on the treadmill. At the end of 45 minutes, I had gone 3.25 miles. My face was beet red and the amount of sweat I had could double as hair gel with how it was slicking back my hair.

After my workout, I weighed myself: 180.2 . Agh.

Last Saturday night, we had an end of summer party. The days leading up to the party were filled with minimum 5 mile step days and careful eating of healthy foods. During the course of the party, I ate three cheeseburgers, had 6 or so beers, and had tons of chips. Since the party, i have been "meh" with eating well and exercising.

I SUCK at "falling down" and then immediately getting back up.

With work starting again tomorrow, at least I will be back on a schedule with getting up, eating well, being on my feet, and so on.

Eating well, exercising, and maintaining a healthy weight should not be THIS difficult.
