Back in the saddle again.

I think I may have misled you, the reading public. Well, not so much misread as misspoke (or mistyped, if you want to look at it that way). I greatly appreciate all the kind words and the encouragement to stick with it. However, I think it came across that I was depressed because of my weight gain at Mancave. That’s not really the case; I had no illusions that I wouldn’t. I was more depressed in addition to that than anything, and I think it was primarily because there was such a buildup of excitement, especially the last couple of weeks leading into Mancave. Then at the end, there’s not that thing to look forward to, and you’re exhausted, and now it’s time to go back to work. So it’s a letdown to go back to the real world.

But I’m over that now. My only issue now is lingering fatigue. I’m not sure if it’s my body not being used to beach football or what, but my legs are just tired. Maybe it’s underuse. In any case, I have my weekly three-miler today, so I’ll be back in the exercise thing, and I’m back in the healthy eating habit, which took longer than I thought, but so be it.

On another note, I’ve found that hanging out with a bunch of skinny people where pictures are being taken is a fine way to remind oneself that one has a long way to go.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m happy with my progress so far, but there’s a difference between making myself less fat and getting down to the point where I’m no longer “the fat one” in the group. The good news is that there was only one broken chair at Mancave, and it wasn’t broken by me (you know who you are).

So yes, I’m back on the horse (figuratively, not literally – poor horse), and ready to rock. Also, I’ve heard some tales of delicious healthy recipes on the comments here. Granted, they are mostly from Tiny, a known hippie, but I’d like to try them anyway. Also, if someone can steal the recipe for the Bye and Bye’s vegan meatball sub, I will gladly pay several dollars for it. Torture someone if you have to. Happy Humpday!
