Waist So Skinny - Mondays

Better this week, but barely...

Weight: -0.1 lbs
Times Exercised (If you count the two days of yard-work I did, which, I do...): 2
Days I Tracked Points: 0
Splurges: A lot

To give myself credit, I had to overcome some outstanding obstacles this week in order to NOT balloon up like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. And, so as to rationalize my paltry performance (at least to myself), I shall regale you with the list of those obstacles:

Odds Defied; Week Five:

1. I was traveling again for work. To the extraordinarily depressing town of Reading, PA.
2. In said hell-hole I found an incredible little diner that served a delightful French Combo. Brie omelet with pumpkin bread French Toast? Yes, please!
3. I got sworn into the State Bar (yay, me!) and celebrated over a Melting Pot feast.
4. I drank YET ANOTHER Chick-fil-a milkshake while running errands. (Hmm... I guess this doesn't really count as a defied odd, but rather a flat-out failure...)
5. I was insanely tired.
6. New Boy (we shall call him, NewB) is quite distracting.
7. So is really crappy TV.

Yet, despite my ridiculous caloric intake, infinite distractions, and intense level of sleep deprivation, I still managed to lose! Imagine what I could do if I actually put my mind to it...

Waist So Skinny - Mondays

So, the whole diet thing? Not going so well. I forgot to weigh myself this morning in my frenzy to catch a 7:30 flight (running through the airport OJ Simpson-style to the gate only to have the flight delayed an hour...), but I know I wouldn't like the results if I had. I thought forcing myself to post my dieting failures would prevent them from occurring, but I would be wrong. As such, in no particular order, I bring you this week's list of excuses for why I didn't watch the ol' weight (Incidentally, the following also serve as my excuses for not blogging hardly at all, either):

I was traveling for work. We've already discussed the negative impact that has on all my good intentions.
On said work trip, I caught strep from some nasty fat lady in front of me who wouldn't stop coughing and blowing her nose on the sold-out flight. Grr...
I stayed at my mom's while my out-of-town family stayed at my house, so I'd have my own bed and not infect anyone. Therefore, I was at the mercy of my mom's menu for the weekend. And it was quite tasty!
It was Easter.
The internet was down from Friday morning until tonight at my mom's (yeah, yeah - I know that shouldn't affect my diet. It did prevent me from posting any brilliant witticisms, though...).
That Chick-Fil-A milkshake was very soothing on my strep-ridden throat! (As was the second one I had today...)
I was in Wisconsin, so I needed the body fat in order to keep warm.
Actually, I really just need to say: I was in Wisconsin. Let's face it, that's excuse enough.

At the moment, I'm in Reading, PA. As such, I have already started working on my list for next week's entry. In the meantime, I think I'll embrace the curves...
