Really, what is my problem?  I know I ate too much this week. A little too much in the cookie department,  a bit too much on the chocolate.  I think I may have 'forgotten' to enter everything consumed into my daily food log... But still.... 219.7 lbs?  Is my weight so tentative that the slightest deviation sends it spiraling up?  Answer: Apparently is yes.  So what to do?  Do better this week and every week following.

Friday was the second game that my daughter was cheerleading for the Payton Grizzlies. It was the first time that she was in uniform. Once again the game was played at a 'local' high school football stadium about five miles from my home. I walked there, but stretched the walk to 8 miles. Walking is good but it does not 'erase' over-eating as every once in while I apparently need to re-learn.

Last night was the first time my daughter wore her snappy cheerleading outfit.

Yesterday,  and during the entire week, my 'sweet tooth' was wildly out-of-control.  The solution to this problem is simple: CUT IT OUT. I really do not completely believe that I gained all this weight in one week, (6.8 pounds - it does not seem possible) part of it might be due from the lateness of the hour of my dinner after the football game. Nevertheless, what the scale says on Saturday morning, is what it says.  I will try to get the scale to be a bit more friendly next week. STILL, BEFORE I FLOG MYSELF FOR THIS BACKWARDS WEEK - I WILL REMIND MYSELF THAT I AM DOWN 89.3 POUNDS FROM THE DAY THAT I STARTED ON DECEMBER 24, 2014 @ 309 POUNDS.

In a battle between two of the highest academically ranked schools within the CPS (Chicago Public Schools) High Schools, our team, the Payton Grizzlies came out on top. As much fun as it was to watch the game last week, when my daughter was cheering, there is something more rewarding about watching the team for which you are rooting to persevere and win.  

WALTER PAYTON COLLEGE PREPARATORY HIGH SCHOOL

Today, I would like to publicly congratulate my daughter for being accepted into the crown jewel of the Chicago Public School system in Illinois - Walter Payton College Preparatory High School.  By reputation this is the top high school in the State of Illinois.  It is one of the top high schools in the United States of America.  This school is going to offer some terrific opportunities for my daughter. There is only one way to gain admission to this school - and that is by earning it.  Although luck had little to do with her acceptance - she is a lucky girl. Congratulations, Sara!

THAT'S BRISK, BABY!®

Brisk is well known for its high-profile “That’s Brisk, baby!” campaigns. The J. Walter Thompson ad agency first launched the campaign in 1996, featuring pop-culture icons in claymation, and was revived in 2010 by creative agency Mekanism. The advertisements highlight exhausted celebrities who are dramatically reinvigorated by drinking Brisk. Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, Bruce Lee, Danny DeVito, Bruce Willis, Ozzy Osbourne, Sylvester Stallone, Danny Trejo and Eminem have all been featured in Brisk spots.

So, you are of course, wondering why am I talking about BRISK today?  I have two applications on my phone that communicate with each other: Map My Walk and My Fitness Pal.  When I record a workout on Map My Walk, it automatically records the workout with a short description onto My Fitness Pal.  My TEN MILE walks are recorded like this:

EXERCISE
Walking, 4.5 mph, very, very brisk pace

Yesterday afternoon in between the time that my daughter checked in for a Swim Meet and the time that she did actually swim in a race, I had about a hour or so.  I decided to take a quick walk around the neighborhood, and as I knew that my walk was going to be a bit shorter, I walked a bit faster than normal.  In fact, I did manage to log three miles in just under 36 minutes.  The application does not bother to label this walk at a brisk pace.  It simply logged this walk like this:

EXERCISE
Walking, 5.0 mph
(if 4.5 mph is very, very brisk - 5 mph is should have been 'brisker!' - Why didn't this faster pace rate an adjective?)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The reason that I was able to take a THREE MILE walk in the afternoon was that I had already logged my TEN MILE walk in the early morning.  Very early morning.  I knew that I would not have a lot of free time during the day, so at the stroke of midnight on Saturday, I departed from my home for my daily 10 mile walk.  I returned home around 2:15AM,  took a quick shower, took a quick sleep and I was ready to start my day on Saturday morning.  It is extra fun to wake up in the morning and already have 15000 steps 'in the bank.'
