Signed up at 24 Hour Fitness again. Well, I got one of those 3-month-free passes in the mail from a class action lawsuit related to their continuing to charge people after they tried to cancel their membership. My wife and I cancelled our memberships months apart, but both had a month or two extra show up on our billing. It's funny when you get one of those legal letters in the mail and it describes something that you thought only happened to you.

Anyway, maybe I'll continue my membership after the 3 free months, but I'm thinking of hitting the gym as much as I can in these next 3 months, then signing up at a BJJ place again.

260.8 I'm back...

Hello. My "one month in Aurora, IL", turning into 2 months in Detroit. That was 2 months of working all day, every day (16 hours a day, 7 days a week). I just about lost my mind, but I made a lot of money which will hopefully allow me to focus back on my exercise program.

I'm back to my regular desk job and trying to restart my routines. I got sick about 2 weeks ago, but had to work through it, so the effects of it are still lingering on. I was trying to get completely un-sick before hitting the gym again, but I don't want to wait around any more. It is supposed to rain all week, so I can't start my bike commuting back up just yet.

I gained 10 lbs in the 2 months, but that was actually pretty good considering the working conditions. Most people in my line of work eat fast food 3 times a day when working on the road and I only ate fast food once in the 2 months.

My 30th birthday is in March, so I have plenty of time to reach my original goal weight of 220 before then. With any luck, I'll reach that and have enough time to re-evaluate my final target weight and then reach that before my birthday.

But I'll be OK with just reaching 220.
