What the what?!

Have you ever come to Friday and thought, "How did I get here ... I don't remember the rest of the week."?  I'm having one of those days/weeks.  The week has been a blur and here I sit on Friday at noon writing my blog instead of my sermon ... which is "due" on Sunday.  I'll get it done ... always do, but I wonder where my week went.  Weeks like this remind me of the booklet Tyranny of the Urgent ... if you haven't read you ought to ... it's a quick read.  I think I may need to re-read it. 

Of course I usually bring it on myself.  "Sure!  I can do that."  "No problem, when would you like me to stop by?"  And I genuinely mean it when I say it ... I just have no self-control.  The urgent things can be good things ... often are ... like responding to fires, helping people with things, going to meetings, etc.  And somewhere out there there's a balance ... I just have trouble finding it.  And like this week, I've allowed the urgent things to push the important things aside. 

Anyway, on to the training report ...

5 days last week!  Woohoo!  (Though I can already tell you this week isn't going to come close ... see above)  I am ready for more temperate weather so I can move most of this training outside, though.  If you are running, cycling, swimming, jumping rope, P90X-ing, Insanity-ing (huh?) join me at Dailymile.com and we can encourage one another.

And now ... drum-roll please ...

Last week (bleccchhh!)

 

This week

Two pounds back in the right direction!  So let me see if I've got this straight ... work out two day a week, eat mass quantities of hot-rolls and biscuits, and gain 2 pounds ... work out five days a week, eat sensibly, and lose 2 pounds ... hmmm.  I may be on to something here.

Do what's important!
