"Lean And Mean II"

My weight loss continues to go well, but unfortunately I've also felt a bit mean today.  I woke up in a funk, and then didn't deal with it very well.  I'm afraid that those around me suffered a bit for my weakness.  To my wife, and to the people at Home Depot, I'm sorry.

I was quite tired in the pool today, and actually gave myself the gift of not doing my weights.  I wasn't at all troubled by it however.  I think it's exactly they way I should feel the day after a satisfactory 30 km run.  Which, by the way, was complemented by a 6 km trail hike in the afternoon with my 2 favourite little people.  

So while I may have been weak today, there's nothing I can do about it other than promise that I won't let tomorrow be a repeat.  Cross my heart and hope to die!  (what a weird expression eh?)

swim, 2000 metres, very slow

"Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love?' These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come."---Henri Nouwen
