I have come to accept that blogging my fitness journey is a personal celebration of accomplishments and ego boosting gains, with a few marginal fails sprinkled in for good ego check. A few of the epic fails to date; 6 minute tread mill run and the 20/15/4 slow grind (as of press time still not accomplished). I can now add Thanksgiving 2013. This week's weigh in put me on the verge of complete slide back to the initial weigh in five weeks ago. Luckily Krause treated the Thanksgiving weekend as a marathon of consumption (primarily the adult variety.)
As we begin week six of our little challenge I am reminded of the great words of Trucky. "We was rejuvenated. You hear that? Rejuvenated. We was juvenated before, lost it...got juvenated again. Rejuvendated!" Krause and I were in our "lost it" portion of the challenge last week, so this coming week we are getting juvenated again.
Harsh reality in blogging is that the numbers don't lie. However, the good news for Kid Crochet and I, the only people reading this rag are from the NSA's outsourced 3rd shift South Korean intern team, and they don't have the updated translator for Gonzo.
Cruel reporting;
Krause: 197.7 17.6%
Me: 220.5 20.1%
You know, my journalism, if you can call it that, is pure "Gonzo". For those not in the know, check out the collective works of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. There are no words to adequately account for the depravity of the 36 hours of the Aussie visit. Midgets, strippers, cadgy eyed blackjack dealers, more than one well meaning "call girl", and the unforgiving Las Vegas strip. These are the things dreams are made of. In this case, nightmares! Thanksgiving was a mere hiccup, what came after...disaster. In this foul year of our lord, 2013, I indulged in unimaginable indiscretions with people from a half a world away. Some good, most not so good. The caloric toll was too enormous to tally! I made up for 7 lost years in 27 god forsaken hours! This contest is getting away from us in a big damn hurry! New week, renewed resolve.
