This weekend was my 30th high school reunion. I was happy I lost 20 pounds before I went! (In case you're following my journal, this is the 2nd of two HS reunions for me in two weeks -- my wife's was the weekend before mine. Sorry for the confusion.) I found it very motivating with respect to health and fitness. Sadly, by the next 5-year reunion we will see some people in very bad health from some combination of obesity, lack of physical fitness, eating unhealthy foods, drinking too much, and smoking. At a 30 year reunion, the differences between those who take care of themselves physically and those that don't are often visibly apparent; those that are fit simply look better.
With respect to my own diet and fitness over this weekend...I strayed off the diet path a bit. I worked out Friday, ran Saturday, no workout Sunday. Ate more of my Mom's cooking than I should have (but not too badly), had four beers at the reunion party, and generally had more carbs than I should. But I kept my breakfast very healthy, and tried to have salad whenever the choice was available, and I only gained 3 pounds over the weekend, which is about the norm for me. So, I'm still in position to continue the push to 180 pounds.
