New Baby and keeping the Weight off Battle of the Buldge
It has been one heck of a year already. With the death of my grandfather and the birth of my son. William was born March 7th at 1AM he is a young carbon copy of my size weighing in at 9 Pounds 12 Ounces and 22 Inches. I have survived the first 2 weeks on very little sleep and we shall see how I do from here on.
My diet has been going very well. I have kept away from candy as I gave up sweets for lent. I did partake in a little cake for an event but it was only half a slice. I keep eating spinach every day and try as much as I can to keep my eating clean.
This weekend we went up to Duluth for the weekend to hang out with the Skelly clan. It was a good time. My aunt took us all out for a "survival dinner" this goes back to when grandpa was in the hospital and we were all going to go out after he got out for a "survival brunch", problem was he didn't make it.
Duluth and the Inn on Superior was not the same without grandpa. The way he brought the family together and his jokes, we will all get by with time. I spent some time shopping with grandma, which she loved since no one else would take her. I also bought her some candy, one thing grandpa always did was buy grandma candy.
The weekend was fun, it was a little emotional to be on family vacation without grandpa. Plus we were staying in a hotel with a 10 day old baby and I am getting over a cold. I did not push myself and get up and exercise this weekend. However my weight is still holding steady at 278. I hope to take off 3 more pounds before the end of the meltdown next week.
I have Gladiator tonight and am doing the final indoor triathlon this Sunday at the Midtown YWCA. I hope I get a faster time than my time this fall. I have talked Angie into running the Fisherman's Picnic trail run with me in Grand Marais this summer. It's 5 miles in the woods and a really fun run. I hope to be below 270 for the run.
As for now I am enjoying being a dad, working a lot, and making sure my diet stays clean. I hope to post early next week to let you know how the tri goes.
Peace,
Gabe
