2008 #28 - The Week that Wasn't

When you arrive home from a break late on a Monday, catch up on sleep on Tuesday, return to work Wednesday through Friday, Saturday night is fine, but Sunday feels a little subdued. It's easy to feel a week has passed without much progress in anything. Is this true though?

1. Not a stellar performance regarding food and drink, but not bad either. Will try a bit harder this week. I am supplementing my hunger now with beans. They don't taste great yet, but I'm hopeful they might eventually, and they're a good protein source and filler. They are, i'm sure, preferable to to slice of toast with Pate that I was previously using to kick off my meals, and had grown very sick of. Oh, why not so good.. 1 bag of Aero bubbles at work and a huge bag of Doritos at the weekend. That said, skipped a meal on Saturday which evens that out a little.

2. Playing fake poker again and doing slightly better. I think I do succeed when I play more and hone skills. Nonetheless, my rules remain.

3. Nothing to report, but no foul.

4. Had a decent enough Saturday night out, though was a bit disappointed not to see at least one other person expected. Still, went to a few places less visited, which is always fun. I need to write/text a few people this week to touch base.

5. Progress on music feels painfully slow, but actually is going quite well, and I have spent plenty of time this week. Most of it has been preparation rather than playing, but both elements are important.

6. Still no work goals. It's been recognised as a problem, so no doubt nothing will change.

7. I'm now getting weird ideas about running hotels and bars. I dunno where the hell my mind is going with some of this stuff. I think it appeals to me to build something my way that others will enjoy. Seeing a newly refurbished club in Leicester this weekend spurred this feeling on a bit. Something to think a bit about.

8. I have done no exercise since I got back from my holiday, and barely noticed it. The weather has been crappy enough to make cycling no fun, and there was no realistic chance of me swimming on the day after my return. I need to, and will get this back on track this week, starting with a swim tomorrow, which no doubt after a 2-gap will be hard and painful. I also need to finally pick up these weights again. I can't figure out why I'm so ill inclined to touch them.

Last week looked better than I had expected. This week looks about as bad as expected. I do feel slightly less fit after two weeks of little more than walking for exercise, in particular. Must try harder!

Still feeling positive!
