Weekend Update
It was a pretty uneventful weekend. Basically just spent time around the house. Played on the computer some, watched some movies, and of course NASCAR. Only nine races left in the season. I'm of course bummed that Junior didn't make the chase, but there are still several drivers I wouldn't mind seeing win the championship.
Which reminds me ... I had the weirdest dream the other night ... I was a Nextel Cup driver, and the race to the chase was over, and I was apparently in the top 12. I also was teammates with Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson ... and we were celebrating and high-fiving. And then the last thing I remember is that I was telling Jeff and Jimmie how cool it was going to be next year with Junior on the team. I'm not sure it means, (other than maybe I'm spending too much time thinking about NASCAR) but it was kind of a cool dream because I was so happy.
Speaking of being happy ... I was really happy to see Clint Bowyer win today. He seems like a pretty nice guy, and seems to be well respected by the other drivers. Bowyer also seems to be the underdog ... or at least, he sure seemed that way until today ... going from 12th in the points to 4th. And finally, it doesn't hurt that his primary sponsor is my favorite adult beverage, Jack Daniels.
In other completely unrelated "news", I'm up to 187 miles on my "bike trip". I worked out for an hour on Saturday but I was really sore afterwards, so I scaled it back to my regular 45 minutes today. Oh, and you might have noticed, I added another one of those "don't break the chain" things to the sidebar. The red one that was there before is still tracking the days I exercise. The blue one is the new one. I'm realizing that exercising is not enough and that I really need to keep careful track of what I'm eating, and keep my caloric intake within a reasonable range. To help reinforce that, the blue "chain" will track the days that I stay "on plan".
Yeah, this "chain" stuff and the whole map thing may seem dorky to some, especially if these aren't issues you've ever struggled with, but I can use all the encouragement I can get. These are issues I've struggled with my whole life. I've won some major battles with this in the past, but those have always been followed by even bigger setbacks. This time I want to win the war, and I'm willing to use whatever weapons I can find.
