Not much to report there. They were talking about activity, but mostly making suggestions about what kind of activities we can do in the summer (now). I just love when they suggest using the Wii for exercise. Oh, I know, some people like it, and maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not about to go that route.
I did get my weight. It's gone up. A few weeks ago I went and they had apparently decided they were going "green"! Oh boy. Basically this means they don't want to supply the paper towels anymore. So, either you wear socks on the scale or a pair of sandals. I wear sandals, so that works for me. But my weight went up which was a little confusing at the time. I weighed the sandals and holy cow! Two pounds! Turns out I had lost a little instead.
So, today, no surprises. I'm still wearing the sandals, but I know to expect the extra two pounds. Turns out I had gained again. I wasn't too surprised by that, but the lady weighing me thought to ask if I had eaten or drunk anything before I came in. I had eaten a banana and a bottle and a half of water. Weighing the water, it appears I may not have gained after all, but I'm not putting much faith in that. If it is true, then it will be a nice loss when I go back next week.
But not on Friday. Thursday is out too, because of the addict's meeting and karaoke. Monday may soon be a bad idea as well.
So, I figure Tuesday may be the best idea, an evening meeting, later is probably better than early. And to save on gas, I'll make Tuesday a gym day, so I'll can hit Weight Watcher's on my way back.
I also need to schedule some cigar time at my cigar shop. They have a nice VIP lounge for members, like myself, and being there and smoking cigars helps me to avoid cigarettes. That probably doesn't make a lot of sense to you, but I'm addicted to tobacco and I know it. But weight has to be my first priority. I don't inhale the cigars and I don't like cigarettes. So it works in my favor to smoke the cigars, instead of the cigarettes, which in turn will help my exercise as well, since I won't be inhaling all that smoke.

I'm back...again
So why have I seemingly abandoned my blog for most fo the month of July? I guess I haven't done much that's "diety". Got a workout on the fourth of July, finding a spot to set up camp for the concert at Cooper River Park (Foghat and Marshall Tucker Band), then moving to another spot, because everyone else wanted to camp out elsewhere, then moving back to the original spot because we had a canopy and couldn't put it up where they wanted to, and moving again because our spot was too close to some port a potties, and finally setting up in the spot we ended up at.
Since then, I've claimed to go to the gym but haven't. I've made it to karaoke every week without fail, even have some friends going with me now.
My newest development is an addictions recovery program at my church. They understand my addiction is overeating (and under excersizing, I guess) and I'll be there every Thursday before karaoke.
I think part of the problem is a schedule. For one thing, I need to stick to this blog, it can help to keep me honest. I also need to make a schedule, that involves not only karaoke, but weight watchers, the addictions recovery program and the gym. I took my measurement the other day, by the way, I came up with 67 inches. Not sure how that compares to my last measurement, I'll have to go back and look. Don't know what my exact weight is. Going to look at meetings for today and probably go to one.
I'll update on how things are going, and how the plan is working.
Einstein said two things I really like:
1. Life is like a bicycle: In order to maintain balance, you must keep moving.
2. Blind respect for authority is the enemy of truth.

I'''''m Baaaaaaaaack!
Not that anyone's reading.
But in the last post I mentioned that if you don't hear from me for a while, I might just be dead. Thought it would be good to point out I've just been busy.
The day I last posted marked the beginning of a short vacation in which I visited an old friend of mine. I just got back a few days ago. I had planned to post updates along the week that I was gone, but as it turns out, my friend has neither cable or internet. To top it off, my laptop chose that time to stop responding to my power adapter. Thankfully, my buddy's stepdaughter's computer was in the house and her power adapter was compatible with my laptop.
I didn't really get out to the gym much, really just to set up my locker (I am now renting a locker there) and go for a swim.
So there's not been much exercise, but what about the diet? Well, I brought some Weight Watcher's snacks with me for the vacation, so that I wouldn't have to worry about being hungry. Honestly, I didn't need them much. I didn't eat well, but while I was at my friend's I didn't indulge myself too much. Though we did go out to a buffet one evening, even then I didn't stuff myself too much.
However, at the end of my mini-vaca, I stopped at a place I've been dying to try - "Simply Fondue".
They have an extensive Martini selection, and they offer a four course meal starting with a salad, an appetizer that comes with a bowl of melted cheese and sauce, along with vegetables, fruit, and bread to dip in.
Then the main course consists of three meats of your choosing and a plate of vegetables. The fondue grill is used to heat a pot of oil that you cook the food in.
The dessert is peices of fruit, marshmallow and cake. And you can choose from 14 different chocalate sauces to dip the dessert in.
Obviously, this is pretty filling stuff.
Anyway, I don't know how far my weight went up this week yet, as I haven't been to Weight Watcher's, I'm going in a few hours.
I'll take my measurements as well, though I imagine there won't be much difference.
In conclusion, I haven't been to the gym for real in a week. No treadmill, etc. I can't let mysellf drop the exercise regimine. I have to get back on the ball.
Of course, part of the problem is that tomorrow marks the beginning of another mini vacation, this time I'll be spending the weekend plus change with some other friends of mine, for the 4th of July. Not sure that will turn out, but I'll be sure to comment on it here.
