181.4 "I Don't Know..."

How can I go from 177.4 to 181.4 in one 24 hour period when all I ate was rice, and fish with orzo? Well, in the name of honesty, I did eat a little more than that but not 4 X 3500 cal/pound = 14,000 calories more! Since getting on the scale this morning, this song from the movie Crazy Heart has been running through my mind:

"I don't know if you're my friend,
Or a long lost lover comin' back again,
Where does the wind blow,
Baby, I don't know!"

And today, that just about sums it up. I guess my over eating a couple of days ago has finally caught up with me. So, I'll give myself a hug and get back on the horse, or whatever!

My brother-in-law Phil has challenged me to a weight loss competition. We are going to start now and see if we both can't lose 10 pounds by October 1st! He does have the advantage of being a guy, and of having not been losing weight over the past couple of years. But hey, I'm up for it. There is $25 at stake here and I want it! :) On your mark, get set, go!
