Welcome back!
Hi there…
With a show of hands… How many folks have traveled for business? Either for sales, conferences, or some other purpose. Yeah, I thought so…
Over the last few years I seem to average about 1 major trip a year… This year’s trip was last week to California for a technical conference. I got to schmooze and chat with as well as listen to folks from all over the world talking about this software engineering stuff that I do during the day.
I came home yesterday and was absolutely exhausted. All I wanted to do was sleep. Was falling asleep on both planes, which I never do. And then I woke up this morning and discovered…
I’d gained 5 pounds.
Now… This isn’t really a shock. I’m not exactly in great shape and I like to eat. Pretty much all I did was eat, drink coffee, soda, or beer, stand around or sit and chat with all these various people. Met some great folks too! But evidently all that eating and drinking and sitting around didn’t do much for my waistline. There’s a shock.
So it’s back to the gym this week while my wife and girls head off to Wyoming (Grand Tetons) for Spring Break.
I know there are lots of blogs out there where people are documenting their weight loss and workout progress… I think I’m going to start doing that myself, just so I can be held accountable for my actions. We joined a gym last month (Villasport, which is a great place) and I was going 2-3 times a week until I went on this trip. Guess it’s time to buckle down on my diet and exercise plan!
Anybody have any suggestions on where to start? I’m 37, about 40 pounds overweight, and want to slim down for my 20 year high school reunion in July. I’m very open to thoughts on how to get this party started.
