EJ tried to kill me tonight but he did not succeed. I live to fight another day (barely).
He keeps coming up with these horrific new exercises that tear me apart. Seriously... at one point tonight I was lying on the floor with my mouth open so wide I looked like a grounded fish, just gasping. Ha HA... I laugh in the face of this torture... I will prevail!!! (kinda sorta)
Needless to say I'm dropping in here tonight before I take a scalding hot bath. I's tired. Going to aim for the gym again tomorrow, but not quite so hard methinks. Seriously 58 days left, pedal to the metal and all that nonsense.
Keep on keepin' on my friends :)

day one hundred and seventy one
Wouldja look at that? Half way there and it only took me 171 days :) I kid, but I'm pretty pleased.
I have, obviously, been thinking alot about the goal or rather the knowledge that I'm not going to make it in the allotted time. At this point I'm not sure another 25 is even something I want to do. Sure... another 10 maybe even 15 but 25??? I guess I worry that I'm shooting for a weight that I won't be able to maintain without some SERIOUS effort. Who knows... maybe Jan1 2012 I'll find myself 50 pounds down. The only thing I know FOR SURE is that I won't be back where I started. Once Aug 19th comes I like to take some time to let my body settle in to the weight it wants to be for awhile. 10 pounds in 2 months seems colossally impossible to me right now but I honestly think it's an achievable target.
We'll see. Right now I just keep on grinding and doing the best I can. I'm pretty proud of myself but here in the last stretch is no time for laurel sitting. It's time to....
GIV' ER :)

day one hundred and seventy
sixty... days... left *gulp*
Met the newest Nesbitt today: Miss Mila. As I've said before I'm not the biggest baby person but this little one is pretty special. It was great to see her being held by her Great Grandmother... "gg" as she's called. Very nice.
On this Sunday night I need to confess that I did not achieve my goal that I set for myself last Sunday night. Drat. So... that one stays in place and gets another goal added to it. Push-ups again (really, still) but I'm adding veggies to the mix. It was positively dis-spiriting to realize how low my veggie consumption had dropped. I know how terrifically important they are but I just can't seem to get them in. I have some terrific cookbooks so maybe that's the trick. I'll peruse them and see if anything catches my fancy... and shouldn't I be grilling them by now anyway :)

day one hundred and sixty nine
Tomorrow there will be two months left *shudder*
Beautiful day today and I got at a long put off chore. I have 3 "sculptures" in my back yard. What they are is the trunks of trees that have been carved. I love them a great deal but they weren't treated with anything and have been looking a bit sad. I went to Canadian Tire today and picked up some Thompsons water seal and painted them up. It was kinda fun and hopefully it'll make them last longer.
Pretty low key day, which was what I needed. Off tomorrow to meet the newest great-granbaby... Mila. A little secret here: I'm not one of those people who go over the moon about babies. Give me a good solid toddler and you have my attention, but infants? They're cute but I don't really get the vapours over them. Still, it'll be nice to see Jesse and Angela and the newest Nesbitt :)

day one hundred and sixty eight
A late one tonight.... or early I guess. The birds will be singin' any minute.
Got my veggie groove back today, thank goodness. Mowed and edged the front and back lawns so that took care of my exercise. Definitely a gym day tomorrow tho.
I guess the only big news is the haircut. My, my, my it feels good to have short hair again. I think my face just wants to have a short kicky cut.
I'm obviously grasping at straws here cuz I'm awfully tired. Looking forward to a big sleep followed by a couple days of not much atall.
tty tomorrow (today) with hopefully a bit more excitement :)

day one hundred and sixty seven
It's like I forgotten what vegetables are for. Seriously.... I can't seem to get the veggies in. Fruits, yes no prob, grains, meat, water, dairy... checkcheckcheckcheck, but no veggies. Someone needs to save me from myself.
Very much looking forward to my weekend off. Will there be golfing, lawn mowing, gardening? Who knows... it's all very tantalizing at this point. There certainly will be sleep - that's for darn sure :)
Getting my hair cut tomorrow. I had this idea that my "new look" could include growing out my hair. Dear Lord... I'd forgotten the patience required for such an undertaking. Living thru the seemingly interminable bad hair days. Reminding oneself of the end result. I'm giving in. It might be a suitable project for the winter but even just the couple of hot sticky days was enough to turn me off the experiment. Chopped it is :)

day one hundred and sixty six
If you have the opportunity I highly recommend seeing the film version of Stephen Sondheim's Company. I do not recommend sitting in front of yappy dramoids. NPH was exactly right and Patti Lupone tore my heart out. God, she can belt. Sondheim's music is difficult to sing and everybody was spot on... yep LOVED it. Even better tho, was friend Liam. He really enjoyed it and at one point I think was singing a bit. That made my heart a great deal bigger :)
Did you see the moon tonight ? Crazy big. I have to tell you I love my 'hood on a warm summer's night. First there's a kid riding his bike backwards down Barton St. The bike was going in the right direction... he was facing backwards. Very elegant looking move as he actually seemed to be reclining. Then there's the sad hooker in a too tight white polyester chemise-y bit of business. Just trawlin'.
Nothing Project oriented tonight... except my dinner was a Mocha Frappacino and some popcorn. There's the wild side... think I'll walk on it :) Bringing healthy back tomorrow but over all a most excellent today !!
