Life definitely gets in the way!!
After trying to finish off the season and then being on the road for almost four months straight, five weeks of which were consecutive, and during which time I gained 15 pounds!! I have begun again to find a way to change. Having reached 210 pounds, and being uncomfortable and unhappy most of the time I have begun to move again. I call it shuffling, because jogging or running it isn't, but at least it is some place to start.
It is a choice.

Oops!!
198.8 :(
The half gallon of ice cream I ate over two days probably was not good.

Holding Pattern
197.4, 28.4.
Not bad considering was on the bus all day yesterday and had fast food on the way back last night with the boys.
Honestly can't seem to get the enthusiasm back for going after this, but trying to at least not eat too poorly too often.
It is a choice ( and a battle ).

And Today's Winner Is
197.4 Pounds. Not horrible.
The comical part is that I have had cinnamon pancakes each of the last two nights prior to going to be at 2:00 AM or so. Does not seem to be hurting me that badly, but probably not helping too much either.
We travel tomorrow, 5 hours on the bus each way. I have fruit and protein drink to take with me plus nice sandwiches from a local fresh bakery.

Stupid is As Stupid Does
Just a quick story to share. Last night at practice one of my players, a supposed college athlete, said he had to "pee." I looked at him funny and he headed off to the bathroom. He came back 15 minutes later and it did not give it any more thought at that time. During conditioning at the end of practice he asked if he could take a short break and my answer was no!! During the cool down at the end of practice when I visit briefly with every player, he confessed that he had been throwing up earlier. When I asked why he said that he had chicken nuggets just before practice.
This is not the first player to be this dumb, a couple of weeks ago a freshman had the same issue and it was because he had pasta and HOT DOGS for dinner.

Yo-Yo
Yesterday, 199.0. Today 196.8.
I do not think it is a good sign that my weight is fluctuating this much, but it is.

Simply Put
There is no real mystery here. When I was a kid I never stopped moving. When I become a somewhat serious athlete it was 2 1/2 to 3 hours of practice per day, lifting, walking or riding the bike home, go for a run every day. In college that only increased.
Then through my 20s there was club lacrosse, summer leagues, pick-up basketball and the habitual daily run.
30s was the same thing, with much more travel, but no desserts when traveling, no red meat, no cheese, and what I liked to call "running tours." I would literally get to know the places I was, from DC to Brussels, to Bern, to Steamboat, by running different loops around town. If that wasn't possible there was always the runs up and down the hallways and stairways in hotels.
40s was coaching and running, and especially at Chico State it was a run every morning early and then off to the office, plus lifting 6 nights a week.
Fast forward to now, wrecked my knee, stopped running, starting eating fast food after late practices and so my metabolism is essentially stopped, relative to what it was, and my exercise is zero.
All one can do is keep trying.
