Fall thirteen times, stand up fourteen
While that may be a butchered extension of the Japanese proverb:
Fall seven times, stand up eight.
I think it’s a fitting description of the ups and downs of my journey. I’ve been busting my hump all week getting up at 5 am for my workouts and making sure I ate healthy foods. This was also one of the first weeks in a while that my wife and I were able to cook meals the entire week, triple win!
We My wife made a great Chicken & Turkey Sausage Jambalaya slow cooker recipe and a delicious Healthy Pizza on our new pizza stone that we picked up from the new Sur la Table this weekend. Needless to say it was the first time we’ve ever used a cooking stone and it was our best pizza ever. We’re definitely going to be using it to test out many more fun pizza creations!
Anyhow, it was a focused week and I felt great so lets see how I did and if it lines up with how I feel:
Previous Weight — 282.0 lbs (on 01.20.2012)
Current Weight — 280.2 lbs
Change In Weight — -1.8 lbs
While I’m happy with the loss I was hoping to break into the 270′s this week so I’ll admit I’m a little bit disappointed. I did however feel great all week and I’m losing so I guess can’t complain too much.
It’s about progress, not perfection
It’s a simple mantra I’ve been using for a very long time. I try to live it, breath it, and keep pushing ahead following it as best as possible. Small losses every week add up to huge losses over time.
This weekend I’m planning on putting some serious miles on the trainer at night with my new Sufferfest videos. I need to make a serious dent in the miles for my goals in the saddle this month. I’m planning on doing a review of the videos once I use a few more of them, stay tuned.
Was your week as good as mine? Any good weekend plans?
Hey sean,
mind sharing the Chicken & Turkey Sausage Jambalaya recipe?
I’m always on the look-out for new slow-cooker recipes.
