    Day 86 – Let Them Eat Steak

    “The only time to eat diet food is while you are waiting for the steak to cook.” ~ Julia Child 187.9 lbs Again my weight keeps bouncing *sigh*. And my body seems to be tiring of this whole ordeal. I’ve gone from sleepless nights to, lately, sleeping 9 to 10 hours a night, which is not necessarily a good thing.

    Day 9 – Full of Crap

    “An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup.” ~ H. L. Mencken 223.3 lbs The last couple of days I hadn’t had what gets euphemistically called a BM in a while. That’s probably why I was only losing about a half pound a day. When I finally had a good sit, I was pounds lighter when I stood up again. Some people are voracious eaters. [...]
