Weigh-In Day #3

Admittedly, I am weighing in more often than once a week.  I have been keeping daily...sometimes twice-daily tabs on myself.  My original intent was to lose all the weight in the first 2 weeks and not have to suffer for the third week.  It's a good thing I did that, because the extra effort I maintained (and subsequently doubled...twice) barely got me to where I needed to be.  I would be suffering now otherwise...kinda like Fatty.

Today (after my noon-time workout) I weighed in at 170.5, which means I have 1.5 pounds to go!  I'm staring disaster in the face, though:

Jamie wants to celebrate her birthday at Maggie Moo's.  Yes, THAT Maggie Moo's.  I think it's impossible to go into Maggie Moo's and take in less than 1500 calories.  In fact, I take it as my fatherly duty to limit the caloric intake of my children by "trying" their individual shakes.  (It's amazing how their shakes are always gone first!)

I've mostly cut dairy from my diet already to make the cut, but there's no way I'm ordering one of those lactose free or sorbet-type drinks when I go into a place with a cow in the logo.  That's just not right (unless you have to, of course...for reasons other than a diet).

I'm pretty much committed to balance the calories by exercise.  Maybe I'll run home from the ice-cream shop. 

How about everyone else?  Final weigh in is on the 23rd.  Britt, how about that lump sum loss?

By the way, I've got some Spokandy Pastel Mints for everyone that makes the cut!
