So I have hit the 20 pound mark! This is amazing! An exciting milestone that I've been looking forward to. It sounds like a big number and pumps me up to keep going. This also means that I'm about ready to unveil "Stage Two" of my plan. The vacation delayed this a little and also clouded some of the plan because I have already started on parts of it. When I have time, I will detail the added rules of stage two so you can see how I want to progress from here. Just a few guidelines I want to give myself. Not rules, not restrictions - just guidelines that will help me avoid flatlining my progress.
Breakfast - I meant to grab a protein bar but I forgot! All the sudden, I was on the way to work and had forgotten to eat breakfast. Luckily, it was getting late so I worked through the temptation to stop somewhere and I got to work unscathed. I didn't eat breakfast (not on purpose) but it is what it is.
Lunch - Before I knew it, 12:30 had come - section leader meeting and then rehearsal at 1. It was 1:30 before I got to try to shovel lunch down, but I had some delicious pecan crusted chicken that Kristyn had made for dinner the night before. That with a small baked potato and broccoli was my hearty lunch. I just grabbed a bite here and there when I could during rehearsal until I was done.
Dinner - For dinner, I took the staff to Dante's for a staff meal. I had some things to take care of at work, so they went ahead of me and ordered real food. I took the opportunity to just grab a couple slices a pizza. 1 plain slice and 1 thin square vodka sauce slice. Just what the doctor ordered.
I also got my exercise in today, in a strange form. The band field was partially flooded and I wanted to try to help it a little for tonight and also try to spread out the puddles for quicker drying before tomorrow. I was able to get a squeegee thingy from the custodians and I went to work pushing water around the field. It didn't exactly SOLVE the problem for tonight but I had a good feeling about tomorrow. Believe it or not, the photo below was an IMPROVEMENT!
So at 8pm, we went back inside to finish up the day with some music. We no sooner started playing and all the sudden, DOWNPOUR!!!! Now I had left something up at the field so I had to go back. By the time I got there, the field was literally a swamp. All the moving around of water I did - worthless! I can't see a situation where we would be able to use this field again tomorrow. Maybe I'll find out I'm wrong when I get in, but eek! I've never actually seen the field DURING the storm. I always see it the day after. Maybe it will drain. Otherwise, there will be a LOT of music rehearsal tomorrow. Will keep you posted. Day 2 was a great success and Julie and I came in 3rd place in the water balloon toss.
Next morning weigh-in - 227.4 (down .8 from today's start)
