I’m doing my best to forget about this week and prepare for next week so I do better. I made some sausage and egg muffins, steel cut oats, prepped vegetables and roasted a chicken — that should give me good options instead of eating out every meal.
Health-wise, I’m doing okay. My back is feeling much better — I’m ready to go back to light training. However, my snot-filled head has other ideas at the moment — breathing isn’t as easy as it ought to be. But I’m hoping that tomorrow I’ll get back at it, at least half speed. Just something, ya know?
I’m also going to get back to posting everyday. Once I miss one day, it’s an easy backslide for me, and writing things out here (even though it’s not always the most scintillating reading around) makes me more accountable and forces me to think more than I otherwise might.
And while I’d rather not, the week in review:
Measurements:
While I’m trying to forget this past week, the scale has no such discretion. I’ve said it before: it’s amazing to me that at my best I can drop a pound or so a week, but at my worst (and really, this wasn’t my worst), I put on 4 pounds in a week. How is that even fair? Hopefully it’ll come back off as quickly as it was put on.
Workouts:
Nada. Zilch. Nothing. First part of the week my back made training an unwise choice, and then the bad cold (sinus infection?) got the best of me. Can’t wait to get back at it, though.
Habits:
Writing everything down — like everything else this week — went all to hell. I simply didn’t do it. Well, I did it after the fact, but not the same day and I’m pretty sure it’s not altogether accurate because of that. I may continue to do this for another week to actually get two weeks of this one.

Weeks 3-4: Eating slowly
Weeks 5-6: Stop eating at 80% full
Weeks 7-8: Lean protein with every meal
