Hit the gym hard today. I had a high carb day yesterday and was at 270 this AM. I was excited to hit 268.5 this week and then only be 270 after a big refeed day.

So after the workout i headed home and we went to my 7 year olds end of swim team season party. I live 2 miles from a big pa state park on the water. The ymca owns a bunch of kayaks so we ate some food then hit the water. My 7 year old jumped in her own and did well. We sent her to a bunch of camps this summer and kayak camp was one of them. The wife, the 3 year old and my self were in a tandem kayak out with her. Her sister wanted her in our kayak so went went back and she jumped in ours. After about 50 yards from shore it was clear that our kayak was hurting. I was in the back and the kayak was all but submerged. We went back in and I hopped out. They went out and i was bored. I decided to hop in my own kayak and go out and find them. I got about 200 yards out from the beach and caught up. I once i got to them I noticed my kayak was full of water and heavy. I thought i was just tired from the back work and shoved it off as me being a 5'8 270lb fat dude out of his element. I spend most of my life and day as a fish out of water so it was nothing new LOL. Well it turns out it wasn't just me and my kayak was sinking. MY boat sank and flipped out of no where. I was in the water fully clothed and shoed. I couldn't flip the boat back over so i just held on to the top of it. I wasn't going far so my the wife hustled over to a sail boat and asked for help. They came over and let me crab on so i didn't have to tread water. I told her to take the kids in as they were scared that my boat sank. They sailboat had a small troll motor. I assume they would drop it in but they didn't. After about 5 minutes I said..."so whats up with that motor? The dude says..."oh its broke".....Im like "Oh bummer" . About 20 minutes later and zero god damn wind Im holding onto a rope tie and the owner says " Do you want a life jacket" I just said.....Sure, that would be great LOL. In my head I'm like you mean to tell me you had a F*@king life jacket and I just spent 20 minutes trading hands back and fourth trying not to sink????? But as i was not in a position to moan i just gladly put it on. Another 10 minutes of windless eternity continues and the couple start to argue. She wants a shot at the main sail and the hubby wont hand over the reigns. So after listening to a very typical married couple power struggle over who gets to be captain they say" How about we try that troll motor again. I shout up " Im still here so why not" The guy tinkers and messes with it. I hear scrubbing so I assume hes knocking corrosion off the connections. Finally I hear it fire up. It took 10 minutes to get back to shore. The kayak was later dragged in by another kayaker. Once it was out of the water it was clear why the thing sunk. It had a plug missing in the bottom and filled with water. I went back to the party and ate 4 Popsicles. Once the glycogen stores were replenished I hopped in the car and drove to the beer store. I haven't had a beer since last Saturday due to my weight cut so i was due for one or two. My beer store guy asked how my day was. I gave them the run down and the guy goes " Damn thats nuts....DO you want a blow pop". I took it it. A green apple blow pop awesome after a day like this. What a day................................Life is good though.
