Yep, I'm Still Alive

Wow, its been a loooong time since I've logged my workouts, or anything else, for that matter.  Hopefully I will be able to remember to do so from now on since it really helped me do better when I knew I would be help accountable.

Quick history to help you get caught up:

1. Have Crohn's Disease
2. Almost died
3. Had lots of surgeries
4. Got better (well, kinda)
5. Now working out at Max Fitness on Highland Rd. in Baton Rouge

Okay, so that covered the last 3 years.  It went a lot faster than I thought it would!

The last few weeks have really sucked as far as working out is concerned.  We have averaged once a week since Thanksgiving (its currently 2 days before Christmas).  For the record - we went at least 5 days a week every week for a little over 3 months prior to this.  Thanksgiving week sucked because we had to go out of town.  The next week I was sick.  The week after that was finals.  the week after that, Jessi was sick.  And since then, Jessi has been at work all day everyday (retail at Christmas time - not good) and I have been spending all day everyday trying to write content for my future website.  Hopefully the next two weeks won't suck.  My son will be staying with us until it is time for him to go back to school, so I want to see if I can bring him to the gym with me without it costing me an arm and a leg.

My weight has done crazy things since I started this blog.  I was really fat when I first started it since I wasn't able to do anything but was able to eat a lot.  I lost a bunch of weight once I was able to be active again, but then gained a good bit when I actually started working out.  About 10 pounds of that weight was muscle, and I think the other 5 pounds was fat.  When I workout I eat a whole lot, and I don't think I have been burning off as many calories as I have been consuming.

I know things will get better once school starts again.  I just hope it can get better now, as well.  Talk to ya soon.
