I woke up this morning feeling great. I felt thin, limber, sprightly. My weight was at a 5-month low of 170.0 lbs. I was making mincemeat of my adversaries in this competition...that is, if you can call that fat slob Oestreicher much of an adversary. I now believe he's entered this competition solely to boost my self-esteem. Damn that guy is an embarrassment, but I'm glad he and his 2lbs weight gain are still around.
All I had to do was continue on my 175-calorie/day diet of celery sticks and nonfat ranch dressing and I would have been sitting pretty in the 160s come Saturday morning. But could I resist? The problem is that my fiancee Caroline can't buy the crap cereal, she's got to buy the good stuff made with honey-sweetened seven-grain clusters, sliced almonds, and whole flax seeds. It's also naturally sweetened with honey and cinammon. Yep, I'm talking about Kashi GOLEAN Crunch with Honey Almond Flax. I ate 10 servings today...along with a full liter of milk. This is called AF, not atrial fibrillation for any physicians in the audience but Albano Frenzy. It classically occurs about once every 2-3 weeks.
I'm not looking forward to tipping the scales tomorrow but I will somehow persevere through this time of personal defeat.
Al,
ReplyDeleteAnne was away for work last night, so I went out and got a burrito bowl, a pint of ice cream, and polished off the candy in our apartment. I think you're good.
just went for a run with al. despite his thrilling 13 minute mile, i am confident in his commitment. i am putting my money behind him in this four dog race. don't embarrass me or yourself by losing, albano.
