Day 329: Now with 33 percent less exercise

Day 329 - front

  • Weight: 139.0 lbs.
  • Workout C: 26 minutes, 50 seconds; next: Workout C, July 29
  • Total inches: 124.5
  • Protein: 185g (54g over target)
  • Calories: 2,351

For the first time in nearly 11 months, I missed a workout.

The streak is dead.

I knew it was likely to happen this week, the busiest week for me this year. I was in the throes of putting on a business conference, so I knew something would likely give. Even now late at night, I’m trying to catch up on protein and calories missed earlier in the week.

That isn’t to say I didn’t get exercise running around a convention facility keeping things moving along, but clearly it’s not the same.

Usually, my schedule is flexible enough to allow a day or two of leeway in working out. But I had to let this one go, with just having two workouts this week instead of the usual three.

Fortunately, I was able to slip right back into my routine. I could make up for a missed workout, but that defeats the purpose of doing the minimum. I can however eat my way back to 140 pounds.

At least I made it almost a year in my workout schedule.
