Weigh-in Day # 10 : one step forward, one step back...

Official weight for Monday 11/9/09 : 219
Change from last week : +1

Stupid Halloween candy :(

Actually I can't really blame that, I think the blame lies more with not getting enough exercise. I got a decent amount of sleep for once, and really didn't get too crazy with candy, but I only got 1-2 days of strenuous exercise in last week and it shows. Granted my average exercise still worked out to getting "something" almost every day, that's only enough to maintain weight (or in this case, slightly fend off candy weight). Even though I did two nights of practice with Macy's soccer team and I do a fair amount of running around during that, really - that doesn't approach the level of exertion that I need. This week I'm dedicating to getting more quality exercise, starting tomorrow cause I'm totally worn out HAHAHAHA - hey you try commuting back and forth between Sacramento and Oakland, it takes a lot out of you. Good thing I like my job.

One other thing - I'm swearing off Coke Zero at home for good. I had been bringing home 24-packs of cans for the past couple months because Macy's soccer team collects aluminum cans to pay for their team events. The problem is, it's convenient to drink so I was downing it left and right. And I think it started to contribute to some sort of physical problems - I noticed that I became dehydrated a lot easier (also could be attributed to the changing weather). But the big one was that I got these cramps in my left side that would occur at various times during the day, sometimes keeping me awake at night. I stopped drinking the soda and replaced it with water, the cramps went away. So there's a lesson learned for everyone, I guess - nothing better for you than cool clear ice water.
