Definitely under 198, and the last two days I was at 196 and 197, despite no exercising due to feeling ill. Maybe my appetite was off, but I’ll take. Worked out a little this evening to help my recovery. The last time I lost well I was pushing myself because a girl I really liked started dating another guy, and the emotional state had me cutting back on food and going all out on exercise. Then the October-January first holidays started, and I gave in to the party mentality. I hope I’m more hard headed this time.

I was doing fine, slowing increasing my Dead Lifts, climbing stairs, doing kettlebell swings, and about 2 weeks ago I had no energy, felt too weak to do anything requiring strength. My physician said I probably got a touch (no fever, lungs clear, no aches and pains – just tired) of whatever was going around. I stayed home from work 3 days, and still felt wiped out.
Today I started up with Kettlebell Swings again, and I’m now tired,but I’ll sleep well after the workout. I’ll see how I feel tomorrow.

The biggest thing for me was regular social dancing during the breaks of the show, in the middle of a bunch of very skilled dancers, making mistakes and just accepting it and not getting shook up. One lady had said she wanted to do a waltz with me. Music started, and I asked her if it sounded like a waltz to her. She said yes, we started dancing, and my instructor call out from her table: “George, it’s a tango”. We both agreed again that it had sounded like a waltz at the beginning, we switched to a tango, laughed about it and didn’t get worried that we might have looked goofy. I’ll still get complexes from time to time about errors, but they will diminish. The instructors’ have an attitude that if you correct yourself while keeping the dance going, you are not committing an error which is also good therapy.
