About my Blog

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain

Weigh-In Wednesday

Burst into Summer Challenge @ Sisterhood of the Shrinking JeansI HATE it that I have to report a slight gain this week! Team 20 is kickin' some SERIOUS HEINY in this competition and I really hate the thought of being the one to unseat us from our top spot!!

But I did gain a bit.

And if it wasn't for this competition, I'd be very happy about the 0.4 lbs I packed on over the last two weeks, because for one of those weeks, we were on holidays.

There was one day of rodeo food, two full days of family gathering food and sitting around at the lake, two days of my mom's cooking and over-feeding, a date night including FAR too many deep-fried delicacies (ie. fish 'n' chips and MARS BARS) followed by ballpark snacks (quite likely also deep-fried!), and two days of my mother-in-law's cooking and overfeeding.

So you see, a gain of only 0.4 under those circumstances really is a victory in most cases.

Except when you're part of a weight-loss TEAM, dang it!
