Summer is moving a little too quickly for me. The realization hit when we were packing up at the end of all too short camping trip recently. I was thinking about how precious the summer months are and how soon fall arrives when you're so sure you'll have time to do all the great stuff you planned while the weather kept you confined indoors and summer was so far away. Man, I'm such a sap-- and really into run-on sentences.
The thing is that there is no time like right now to get up, get out, and go do the things I want and/or need to do. Just freakin' do it. Turn off whatever soul-robbing contraption that has my buttocks mated with my chair and... -click-
And... I'm... Back!
That was awesome! Completely furious workout at the gym this morning. I did a number of different weight routines that reminded me of muscles that hadn't been out to play for a while. I followed that with a run/walk/climb session at the high school stadium. I only ran the circuit three times but hey, I was feeling it. If I were a masochist I'd have been in a steaming lather by the time it was over. I'm not but I was- er... not a masochist but was still in a lather, I mean. Ew, that's starting to sound a little weird. Geez, I'm constantly putting my foot in my mouth. No, not literally. Focus, Steve!
Why the frenetic burst of activity this morning? It seems I have a lot more weight to lose. Thank you scale! Wait, I mean thank you Poppycock! No, that's not quite right either. What I really mean to say is, "Thanks to you, Steve."
"Salty carbs don't bloat people; people consuming mass quantities of salty carbs bloat people."
So this morning I was all about sweating out the Sodium and working off the carbs- and it felt really good. Thank you scale. Thank you indeed.
The thing is, salty-carb-induced-bloat and the waning summer aren't the only reasons for the change-up in activity this morning. It seems like I've hit some sort of wall in my weight loss efforts. So I'm taking some advice from a reliable source in regard to my weight lifting efforts and switching things up a little. More on that later.

Oh boy that was a frenetic post!
Salty carbs eh...gotta love em.
I love run on sentences too! I will be interested to know what you are doing in your training routine to help with your semi plateau. Those are tough but at least they don't last forever.
I love Poppycock! You're making me hungry!
I'm liking the new Entrecard card, Steve! Good move!
As for advice, I have a really cool appetite suppressant secret that I'm going to post about next over on my site.
You won't crave carbs anymore if you start scarfing down a few of them a few times a day. Check it out when you can. I will post it tomorrow.
Kudos on the walk/climb/run (did I get the order right?)
I just started a power walk group in my neighborhood. Just another way to bust those cals! Walk, sprint, lunge.... we go a little nuts. :D
Continued success on your efforts!
