For those who have been following the "more personal" aspects of this blogg, they know I was trying to lose some weight through "standard" dieting methods.
I gave up on that about 2 weeks into it and returned to my deep fried extra fat please, eating habits.
Then something happened. At church one night, there was a collective challenge issued among the 30-somethings. Who could lose the most weight in a 6-week time period. A light switch flipped in my mind... "I can win this."
You see, I lost 35 pounds in a two-month period on the Atkins diet back in 2002. If I could do it then, I certainly can do it now, right?
My mind was made up. I was determined to win. If you are not "in it to win it," then why play at all.
It has been 4 weeks today -- and I have lost a total of 23 pounds with two weeks to go.
The others in the contest have given up. But I will stick to it until the end. I just hope when I return to a life of carbohydrates, that I can keep the weight off.
May the Blog Be With You.

if someone told me i needed to lose weight, i'd be like "hey! why don't you stop dressing me up like the mailman and making me dance for you..." wait, we're not the newsroom anymore. probably should stop with the random South Park quotes.
You will respect my Aw-thor-it-ty!
