a week after week something or another

I made signifcant gains in my efforts this past week, if not in my measurements. I made it to the gym twice, i ate an apple most mornings, kept my dinners light, and held my alcohol to a single drink monday-wednesday and 2-3 thursday-saturday. none of those drinks were beer.

as it's sunday, i'm on my couch catching up on reading and some work. i think i'll go to the gym later today for an hour or so, and i expect dismal results. back when we were going to the gym regularly (the weights, machines, and treadmill, not the fitness classes), we kept track of our progress with increased weights and sets. i'll probably have to start a new routine, but that's okay.

30 pounds in a year and a half is unacceptable to me, and my life insurance health examiner's question was "have you lost or gained more than 10 pounds in a year". that's disturbing.

it's not that i see my 180 pounds as 'overweight,' it's just where it sits (my stomach) and the point or two over what i'm told is a healthy BMI.

so wish me luck...i'm two weekes into restarting my physical activity and we'll see how we can ramp this week up. if i can get to the gym today, maybe i'll be able to hit the gym even if i don't leave work in time for the fitness class.
