The Sick Dog Days of Summer

   I know it has been a while since I blogged but I have been ill... really ill. A couple of my children came down with that dreaded pertussis virus in full force, also known as the whooping cough, back in the end of May. It seemed to affect only my older children with the exception of one. Now my children are strong and eat healthy but my  daughter who caught it first was out for 4 weeks! The other... 3 weeks! Ruth caught it later, but now is going on 4 weeks!
   Then in the middle of June my middle ones got it. But the Three Musketeers and myself were okay. Good! That was short-lived. The Three Musketeers caught it. I was doing what I could to dodge this nasty thing. It was well into July, when I got it, exactly Wednesday, July 10. And I got hit with the full force right away. Hopefully I won't have it for 3 or 4 weeks! I did weigh in last Wednesday but I have been feeling so terrible I could not even blog. Only now do I have a little relief. I'll keep you posted. Oh, the scale?... what else, 270.

Bummed

   I think I'm going to call this blog, "Will's Struggle to Weight Loss". I would have posted before but I was a little bummed. I weighed in at 270, Wednesday. It was discouraging, but what can I say? The weight just won't melt off by itself! I know I need to put in a better effort. I'm serious about my last blog. I'm going to be sprinting again with this weight loss thing, like I did in the beginning, when I lost 16 pounds in my first week.
   Exactly, how long is a sprint in weight loss terms? I mean, a 100 meter dash is over in seconds. So is the 200. But this weight loss journey is what, a lifetime? Do you see my point? So I think a sprint would be about a week. Makes sense to me. Actually, I'm going to start my sprint and just keep going for as long as I can. After that, take a break, and run another sprint. So on and so forth, until all this extra weight is gone. Well, that's the plan anyway. Who knows, maybe I will keep going one of these times. You know, like extending my sprints to 400 meters and 1 mile runs, and so on. I might actually start enjoying running farther distances. I can't believe I just said that, but it might happen.
   For now though, I have to concentrate on starting this next sprint and see how long it lasts. I'll let you know when I start and when I finish and how much weight I lose. One thing for sure, I have to do something different.
