So I get back from vacation...

[Mookow]

... and with great trepidation step on the scale. I had been dieting for a little more than a year, so prior to going I had decided I would not worry about that for the whole week, and just enjoy it. For a whole week I totally ignored any ideas of dieting or otherwise controlling my caloric intake, eating out at least twice a day, and went out on three nights of drinking that left my liver sobbing to itself in a little ball somewhere in my abdominal cavity. I found a place that was selling $2 pints of Guinness, and I'm sure I felt my liver harden up a bit in anticipation of what was to come at the moment that the idea of $2 pints of Guinness sunk into my brain.

The net change in my weight: -2 lbs. That's right, I lost weight by eating out and binge drinking on vacation. Go me. I think I'll write a bestselling diet book based on this plan.

Hopefully, my liver doesnt file assault charges or volunteer to be transplanted into Ted Kennedy, which probably looks like a good option after this past week.

I'm going to assume that you were walking quite a lot while on vacation, yes? It's amazing what a little exercise can do... 😀

Not all that much. I definitely wasnt exercising as much down south as I do during a typical day of work. Even assuming I spent the whole time walking, it consumes many less calories than working as a roofer, and lifting three times a week is better than getting in one two hour session at lower than normal intensity (I didnt deadlift at all due to the "off pressure" feeling I had in my head).

Sorry, sometimes I assume most of ATOT survives as a cubicle dweller 😀

Dont worry, I'll send you a free copy of my book: "The Beer, Bourbon, Bacon, and Chicken Wing Diet: how to eat what you want and still loose weight while you are drunk off your @ss."

When civilization collapses, the only consolation I see for those who inevitably turn to canabalism is that if they get to the cubicle farms soon enough, the meat will be like veal: tender and with plenty of fat.
