Grumpy Grumperson

Day 263,

I'm in a pissy mood. I've had the most negative attitude lately. It hit me today that the reason I'm so grumpy is because of my inconsistency. I'll have a great week and then I'll have a crap week. I have not lost a pound in over a month. Actually, I've gained and lost the same three pounds over and over again.

I had a fantastic week the week before Labor Day. But, we went to Ohio for the holiday weekend and I just fell apart. I was at the mercy of other people's food choices. Friday night - Pizza. Saturday: Hot Dogs, Sausages and Birthday cake. Sunday: Oh My God --- More Pizza and wings and chips and queso. Let's not forget the beer. I call it the "lost" weekend. It will be a LONG time before I can eat pizza again. A very VERY LONG time.

We arrived home Monday night. During our long trip home we received a call that our upstairs bathroom was flooding into our downstairs bathroom. Fortunately, it wasn't as bad as we thought. But, it meant that we had no water when we got home. The up-side is that I got up Tuesday morning and went to the YMCA for a workout and shower.

I skipped Wednesday and Thursday due to back pain. Our mattress is absolutely killing my back. This fact became painfully evident after we got back from Ohio. By Wednesday, I could barely move. Today, we bought a new mattress and I just have to suffer until Thursday. I may not make it.

Last night, I tried my hand at Yoga. I thought it might help my back. It did a little. But, it was an awkward sight to behold at best. Thank goodness I was home alone. :) I thought I would do it at home before I tried it out at the YMCA. I'm glad I did. My yoga skills are not ready for the viewing public. I think I"ll stick to weights and the elliptical at the Y.

Cheers!
