Well it was another great diet and exercise day. I just got up at about 6pm and I’m having “breakfast” … fruit and egg whites with fat free cheese and salsa, some coffee and some Boca Sausage links. I did not wake up and eat at all and I have not binged. I only hope this lasts…

Today we closed on our new home and I am so excited. We are supposed to do all of our moving at the end of next week. And I am asking my co-workers to consider helping us move our furniture NEXT saturday because I may need the help, considering my back troubles.

So it’s ours, it’s all ours. It’s so nice and affordable and in such a good neighborhood from what I can tell. I had to wake up at noon to go take care of that.

I got off from work at 6am because I had to go test people for the PT Fitness Test. You know once a year we are required to pass this test. Well, one of my volunteer type jobs is to help evaluate these tests near the first of the month. So I did that this morning and I had four guys and one of them failed. So he’ll have to start the “UpGraded” PT program where you work out 4 days a week and they document it all on paper. Right now you are trusted to keep up your own fitness level and work out with your Squadron once a week. As long as you pass your test.

So I made it home and went to bed at about 8am. Well my wife was off today so she was taking care of errands and stuff and at about 9am she came into the bedroom crying and all because a wasp stung her. So I immediately jumped up to help her out and I did not see the stinger… as a boy my brother and I used to play in the woods and get stung by bees and wasps on occassion but my wife had never been stung. I told her to put ointment on it and take two Ibuprofin because it would be sore otherwise… I felt so bad for her.

So then I had trouble falling back asleep I think I last looked at my watch and it said “10:45am” and then I had to wake up at Noon to do the House Closing. By 2pm we were home again so I took a UniSom to conk out since I was so excited about the house… I never get enough rest on GraveYard Shift but that’s okay today (tonite) is my last work day of the week. Then I’m off for the weekend and I’ll be back on DayShift next week.

Somebody’s Blog I was reading last night had this Thanksgiving Challenge where, in the 12 weeks until TG you have to walk 300 miles. So I want to do that I’ll look at the FitNess Challenge Forum and see if it is on there.

For me, the only thing I’ll use is actual walking on the Gazelle, Treadmill, at the Track or with the Walking DVDs. The walking around at work I’m not going to count and I’m not counting other machines like bikes or stairclimbers because that defeats the whole point of the challenge.

So in two days is the weigh-in. I really think I’ll be 158. I hope so. I have done so great this week and I don’t want to dissapoint The Worker Bees.
