Updating the State of the Fat
After seven weeks of ups and downs, after today’s “official” weigh-in, I am 45% towards my (first) goal. I have won the weigh-ins for the the last two, and all I have to say is this: I may miss wings and cheese fries, but I feel better about myself. I also like the fact that I’m not beating myself up over it too much– I make my workout schedule at the beginning of the week, and I stick to it.
Do I want to roll around in a pile of cheese fries? Yes, yes I do. Preferrably White Horse Cheese Fries, with Ranch in a Bottle.
I’m a little bit naughty everyday. I have something to keep me on feeling like I can eat like a human. Some startling statistics:
I have not eaten McDonald’s, or any other fast food (save Subway and Jimmy John’s; I had a salad at Portillo’s, A SALAD!) since Labor Day.
TLEMK and I are eating in. We’re cooking a lot, and I feel full at home. This is also saving money, and not wasting the food in the fridge.
I’ve brought my lunch to school everyday, and eaten it, except for the day we went to Portillo’s (for muthatruckin’ SALAD!!)
Now, camping was a setback, and I haven’t had time to workout this week as much as I’ve wanted. But, I still managed to get in three workouts, including today’s workout and 12 holes of golf (Walking. For the record, I still suck at golf.) This week will be a challenge as well (two meetings and grad school) but I’m getting into a routine. I will keep at it. I hope that I make it by Thanksgiving, because the holiday season is going to be an extra challenge. Thanks for letting me talk, Internet. I promise to return to funny soon.
(What if I’ve already peaked as funny? What if this is as funny as I get?
The horror, the horror.)
Goodnight.

17. October 2005 | 10:02 hZigzag tells me he’s doing well with eating healthy foods, even at work sometimes. Of course I’m a mean, awful sister because when I come into town I make him go to Hooters and watch the Sox game with me and that’s not very good for his diet
I guess that’s good for you though Tony
But I won’t be back in town for a while now, so I won’t set him back anymore.
