Dan Nied's 100 Days: Days 58 and 59

Written by Dan Nied

No food diary today, but it was a pretty good day for me. I got up at 9 a.m. and went to the gym. I lost my cell phone there last night (the gym is also the basketball arena. It's kind of cool. The elliptical machines overlook the main court.)

I still can't find my phone and I have to drive to Wyoming tomorrow. I am a retard.

I fucked up last night, which makes this last week the worst on record. Just too many moments where I didn't think. But there is good news at the end of this tunnel. I weighed in today and was down to 325. That is 1.5 pounds lighter than Monday. So way to go me.

Now all I have to do is get back on track full time and keep working out and I think I can really make a noticeable dent over the next few weeks.

Of course, there is an obstacle in there. Tomorrow I drive seven hours to Wyoming for a four-day work trip. I am excited about going, and I am determined to keep the damage to a minimum. Still, right now it wouldn't surprise me if I ended up screwing the whole thing up. But I have a good mindset here. Don't be surprised if there is a day when everything totally goes to shit. I won't be. But if I can just stay healthy for this week, I will be incredibly proud of myself.

Unfortunately, I still am unsure about my internet hookups in Wyoming. So there is a chance that there won't be another update until Friday morning. I know, that sucks. But hopefully I can sneak one or two more entries in during my time there.

But I have to get back to packing. Hopefully you guys will hear from me soon.
