My workouts have been crap this last week. Oh sure, there are excuses to be had in the big bag of 'comforting thoughts about failing'.
Had a very bad cold and was off a day from work. My daughter's been really busy. Hate my job and commuting's really bad with slick roads and greasy snow. Lots of code work done on the site (do you like?). Helping others out - my father's involved with a travel site (www.luxury-travel-info.com) and there's lots of neat things going on. There's end-of-year stuff for work, home, etc. Re-caulked the bathtub and doing bathroom renovations, decorating, kid's Christmas party, getting ready for the baby...
You know, I told this whole list to my body and it didn't care. It got a little fatter and a little less muscled.
I tried again, but it's stubborn and won't pay attention.
So I guess it's a good thing I have been REALLY good with the diet. Now the workouts have to get back into gear!
Plus side: Some time ago, my daughter said I look like this "Greg Wiggles" doll (damn! yech!). That was a joke gift from my sister-in-law because SHE said it looks like me and everyone who sees it can find a resemblance.
They get a big kick out of it - my first name's Greg. And sure enough the stupid doll says "Hi! My name is Greg!" which sends them all into peals of laughter. I don't find it that funny.
However, now my daughter believes I look like a photograph called "Solitude" by a photographer who's name escapes me (Naomi...something...EDIT: Naomi Stanley, it's the other picture in a set with "By the window" which is apparently famous) which gave me a chuckle; that's always been a private goal which I know isn't all that achievable but hell if I'm not gonna BELIEVE it can happen!
See - we have this black-and-white photo of a buff young guy lying face down on a bed near anwindow. That's the "Solitude" photo and is my mental image.
So when I mentioned my daughter's belief to my wife she said "yeah, everyone thinks that's you".
DAMN! THAT feels good! And sure enough - everyone says 'it's not you?'
So THAT positive energy is going into the tank to help me finish off the contest!! NEVER QUIT!
