Back To The Grind (No, not the MTV show)

Even though I really wasn't totally my fault, I know that I will take the brunt of the blame for our time away from this project. While the truth is that we were awaiting news of what exactly Leslie could and could not do while pregnant, you can believe we took this opportunity to indulge a little in some foods not necessarilly deemed dietary correct.

I mean, when your pregnant wife wants McDonalds for lunch - you can't exactly say no can you? You could, I guess - but that could result in you sleeping on the couch for the next nine months.

So I will confess. I cheated a little. I ate my share of calories - probably more than my share to be correct. So when yesterday I saw that I had crept back over 250 pounds, I rededicated myself to get down to 230 at least, maybe 220 if I am feeling frisky.

It also helps to know that the wife got the go ahead to run again. Now it's back to the old saying...

"Anything those two can do, I can do better."

Workout45 minutes on the elliptical on Level 5 Afterburn. And while this is the first workout that I have posted, this is actually my third on the elliptical on Level 5 and second going over 5 miles (5.34 miles to be exact) and 1000 calories burned (1065). I really didn't WANT to work out today (I mean, really, who does?) but the fact that my wife is putting the work in with child - well, I can't let her make me look too bad.
