I Talk to Myself

I Talk to Myself

I talk to myself.

Before you ask me to step away from the sharp objects on my desk, you do too!

See? You are doing it right now.

Goodbye 250s!

Goodbye 250's!

Goodbye 250s! It’s been fun knowing you.

Today is the start of Day 6 of my journey back to health. I started the South Beach Diet back on Monday and it’s been smooth sailing all week. I haven’t visited any of my old friend these past few days. You know them as Pizza, Beer and Cheetos.

I started the week at 254.0 and as of this morning I was down to 248.6. That’s a whopping 5.4 pound weight loss in just five days. Well, okay, not whopping but it is still pretty good considering I was headed in the opposite direction just a week ago.

Mmmm... hamburger!

I went out to a real restaurant last night for the first still since starting my diet. It was sort of like going to a nudie bar. There was a lot of stuff on the menu but I couldn’t touch any of it.

It’s not that I am so heavy that I popped a spring or crushed a sensor… it’s that the stinking battery is dead!

I stood on the scale this morning and it flashed all sorts of funny things. When I flipped it over to change the battery, I discovered that there wasn’t a battery to be replaced. The battery was permanently hardwired and encased inside of the metal underbelly of the scale. So in other words, I have to buy a new scale instead of a new battery.

Hump Day

Ugh! Salad!

Today is Wednesday, Day 3 of my South Beach Diet… or as my suffering beer belly prefers to call it, “55:18:32 Hours Without Pizza or Beer”.

Yes, it’s Hump Day.

They say that if you can make it past the third day‚ and make it over the hump‚ you can make it long term. I hope that’s true because I’d hate to think I gave up drinking beer and eating Big Macs these past few days for nothing. You just can get those meals back.
