We are very busy at work. We have been operating in stealth-mode for the past 18 months, but we finally debuted at the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco 2 weeks ago. Ever since that time, we’ve been getting a lot of positive press and attention, which has kept things busy. I’ve managed to keep my hours under 100 per week, but it has been pretty crazy. I did manage to swim every now and then, but it wasn’t very often. And I never blogged it.
Summer has come to Utah and that means a lot of things for me. I finally broke down and turned on my air conditioner this morning before I left for work. I need to hire someone to install sprinklers and grass at my new house. It’s time to get serious about working out again. Travis and I hit the gym today for the first time in a long time. It was pretty pathetic, but at least we’re getting back to it. Some of the guys at work are very into biking, specifically mountain biking, so I’ve thought about getting my bike out and trying to hang with them from time to time. I’m not as confident about that one, but I’ll try it at least once. And it won’t be very long until the outdoor pools are open and I can start swimming outside. There’s really nothing as fun as swimming in a well-maintained outdoor pool.
I lost about 25 pounds while working out over the last 18 months, which seemed like a very healthy rate to lose weight (and gain muscle). But today I hopped on the scale to see that I’ve gained 20 pounds back in about 2 months. That doesn’t seem nearly as healthy. I’ve also lost a lot of my strength and tone (as you’ll notice in today’s numbers). I think it’s probably good that I gained so much weight, because I don’t think it would motivate me to action the way this has. I’m back.
