-----------------------------------------------------

Today I felt surprisingly good about myself. I understood that there will be ups and downs in this process of adapting to a new life-long lifestyle. Setbacks are natural and to be expected. Strangely, I got right back into a "fitness mode" mentality. It helped that the scale read 279.4 this morning too.

My morning sandbag workout went great. I trained for a solid 30 minutes alternating between running sandbag tosses and sprints. My cold seemed to have gotten worse last night and I had a hard time falling asleep because of a nasty cough. This morning, a runny nose had me blowing "snot rockets" throughout the entire workout. This was good, though as the hard training helped me clear my sinuses. I actually felt very good the rest of the day.

I chose to skip the evening workout as I felt sick, tired, and felt it best to ease back into training. I'm actually OK with this. I felt like I took positive steps in the right direction today and I'm happy about that.
