It’s been a rocky week.  Several very long days and a series of evening commitments conspired to pull me this way and that.  There were two key things that stalled progress this week:

1. Exercise.  Although I did the exercises every day, at 5 (now 6) weeks into the project, the body is starting to crave a bit more challenge.  I’m not looking for a marathon here, but it seems that stepping up the level of effort will help.
2. Diet.  Eat healthy, then add:
   • A Bavarian Inn Chicken Dinner, with all the trimmings.  Tasty, but probably enough in that one meal to undo several days worth of effort. (3 chicken breasts, scoop of potatoes, scoop of stuffing, bowl of peas (likely dripping in butter, I’m blocking it out at the moment).
   • A generous slice of chocolate layer cake for Bob’s birthday.  Not overly large, but containing enough sugar to manufacture a quart of vodka, I suspect.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again – this isn’t rocket science.  This week was rocky, next week will be better.
