The Road to a Lesser Dave: Day 14

Over the weekend, we ate dinner with our friends who live on the 12th floor of our apartment building. After Friday night services, I walked up from the 3rd floor to the 12th (125 steps). Once there, I was informed by my wonderful wife that I had forgotten the salad. 250 more steps down then up again. Then, after a delightful and scrumptious dinner, we went back down to our apartment for a total of 500 steps! Although I was tired and cranky (after getting the salad) I was excited to mention this enormous feat on this blog.

I think I am getting more motivated. Thanks everyone for the continued support. I know many of you keep sending notes to me via facebook and twitter, but don't be afraid to comment. The more you can join in on our conversation, the more everyone benefits out of the whole experiment.

I received this email from my sister in Toronto,

We all watched your video together. We wanted me to let you know that we now all have...wet pants!!! thanks for the laugh and the inspiration!!!

keep us posted!!

Seems that the video was a success! I'll try to keep new onces coming. DO you have an idea for me to film myself doing? Examples: Biking (still need a bike), preparing some recipes with the wife, Walking up stairs in the Warwick (our apartment complex), food shopping trips (we called them "making an order" in Canada), etc.

Day 14 Stats

Loss Actions: 52oz of water, and no snacking today.

Last night, my wife got a flat tire while traveling on I95 north from DC to Baltimore. Thank God, she and her passengers were fine, frazzled, but fine. Both husbands (+1 expert tire changing friend) rushed to the scene and worked together to secure everyone and get on our merry way. This led to a celebratory pizza dinner for all (and one that got us out of making something from scratch after the terrible ordeal). Pizza lunch left-overs was the obvious lunch for today...

I also helped said expert friend unload the pieces for his new shed from a rented truck to his backyard earlier in the day. That was a great workout!
