Day 86-Jumble jacks

                I feel like it was yesterday I was ranting about vaccines and today was what I think is my sons last round of them. I had to explain to them again which ones we were not getting and get looked at like I am killing my child, when the odds are actually better that they are. Anyway it actually went pretty well and Ben took it like a champ. He still is acting spoiled and that is thanks to the g-parents (who are readers, hi Mom and Dad). For the last 6 months Ben and I have developed a routine of play, sleep, eat, change, repeat. This was all ruined over one weekend and now he has everything in a jumble. I am trying to get him back on track but it is not going well. I did manage to get plyo done during one of his naps but I think I sweated more from fear he would wake up than the jumping. I am afraid I might be getting to use to the p90x and will be glad to switch things up next week. Oh and if you were wondering I ran out of stuffing so tomorrow will be my first real low carb day.

Day 85-Stuffing and smiles

                If you want to go low carb make sure you do not have a fridge full of leftover stuffing. I did really well with the new diet with the exception of the stuffing and as soon as that is gone I will be on track. Today my son decided he needed to play every waking moment which kept me from being able to do anything productive. But when it came time to do my work out I did it quick and from memory. I think I did a decent job but I am not about to go back and watch the video to check. I did do something new today though, I got family pictures. I cannot remember ever doing this so it was interesting. The clothes, the smiling, and then trying to get a six month old to hold still and not cry. For him smiling was bonus. Hopefully there will be a couple smiling ones and I am sure those will make the flickr, which needs to be updated badly.

Day 84-A new plan

            Sadly our holiday ended today and we spent most of the day on the road home. The car was packed to the hilt with the new food supply for the new menu. For a month my wife and I are going to attempt to go low carb. Not no carb and not even crazy low. But we are going to shoot for less than a hundred grams a day and count our calories and see what happed before Christmas. My biggest concern will be eating on the road, which will not happen mush this month, but it will happen when we travel for wrestling tournaments. I am excited to try new recipes and eat some foods my last diet did not like me to have. Welcome back dairy.

Day 83-Always something

                You would think that with the grandparents taking care of my son I would get so much done and there is no way I could miss a workout. You would be wrong. For some reason I saw this as an opportunity to get the food shopping done and work on school work. It was great to play catch up but I fell behind on my fitness and will have to hit it hard this week as it is the last one of the official challenge.

Day 82-Round Two

                For some reason I thought I was going to be able to have a relaxing day today, you know sleep in, eat, take naps, good vacation stuff. I learned this was not the case after a couple hours of sleep when my wife woke me up at 6 to announce she felt better and wanted to go Christmas shopping. I was less than excited but had very little options in the matter. So we heading into town on Black Friday but thankfully the midnight madness made the morning madness a lot less maddening. We still ended up spending most of the day running around town. Then because Kelsey was sick yesterday we had another round of Thanksgiving dinner at my parent’s house. Now this was great, two turkey days in a row. The big issue though is that I have now stuffed myself twice in a row and I am sure that has slowed progress down quite a bit. Do I feel bad? No way, the holidays come once a year and indulging on them will not kill me, and even if it did I could die happy not hungry.
