Masters backwash

After a nightmarish Masters (108 hours worked one week) I expected to have put on more weight than I actually did.  Left town around 198, came back 202.  Ate all kinds of crap at all hours, no exercise. Back down to 199 - 200 now.

Exercise has taken a big hit.  Started back working in the office instead of at home, which is a pain at many levels.  At home, I'd take off for a 35 min walk or run over lunch, stretch out and be back at work in an hour or less - still in exercise clothes.  When I'd get a break in the afternoon, I'd shower, shave and put on street clothes.  Not a plan that works in an office environment.  So have been able to walk for 30-40 minutes most days, but that's it.  May join gym out at work and try to work out early mornings.  But I hate working out early mornings, plus it's impossible to run in the dark out there which will be a problem come fall/winter.  That's a long way off though. The real problem is that I will always be looking for excuses to not work out in the mornings.  Meh.

So what little aerobic base I'd been able to build is now mostly eroded.  And my right shoulder is still not up to exercise - apparently persistent tendinitis, and I keep re-injuring it before it fully heals.  Not sure what I am going to do.

Peace.   ...   Steve
