This weekend

jayfurrSo I'm halfway through my month in Boston (not going home on the weekends because, c'mon, I'd be home for about 30 hours and then have to drive right back down. What would be the point?) and I've got a weekend staring me in the face. Last weekend I walked 13 miles on Saturday and 7 or so on Sunday (in the icy slush left behind by a minor snowstorm). This weekend's weather isn't supposed to be outright horrible but it could be cold and gusty and rainy and I'm left wondering what would be the best use of my time. I could drive partway out to Cape Cod early one day and then walk ten miles in one direction, turn around, then walk back. I could drive down to Rhode Island and load up on coffee milk. I could go for a walk out to a place like Nahant and see Massachusetts Bay in all its, um, glory. I could just go find a local candlepin bowling lane and spend the day trying to break 100.
I know I know people in the area but if there's one thing getting old has taught me, it's that I have a lot to be embarrassed and sorry about vis-a-vis my callow youth and that it might be a fine thing going forward if I didn't inflict myself and my asinine sense of humor on people. I firmly believe that I'd find myself extremely annoying if I had to put up with myself... and consequently I sort of blanch at the idea of calling someone up and inviting myself into their lives. I appreciate people being nice and all, but, well, you know.
On the weight-loss front I've managed to stick to my calorie goal for the week pretty well - avoiding restaurants and trying not to keep snacking food in the room. Consequently, when I got back to the room last night and weighed myself, I was at 183.5. I've got until January 3 to be at 180 pounds and at 2 pounds or so per week I should make that with little trouble... provided I keep myself honest and out of temptation's way. A nice long walk or two this weekend would certainly help, though.
