Hollow Chocolate Bunnies

My lunch was slightly derailed by the hollow chocolate bunny my purchaser delivered me as a token of gratitude for a year of constructive cooperation. I started with the ears, then that opiatish chocolate took hold and the carnage didn't end until Thumper's thumper washed down my gullet. We'll call that, what, six points?

Looking to get a bike ride in tomorrow or Wednesday. Why has it been so hard for me to mount the silver stallion? I also have a hilarious goal of waking at 6 tomorrow for a gym iron session. ROAR!

Shame Leads to New Lows Leads to Picasso Leads to More Gluttony

New lows as in weight. After my wo is me post last night, I weigh in at my lowest point of he year. Go figure. I expect a hefty weight gain tomorrow evening, though. Spent the day at VMFA, took in a hilariously large and tasty lunch at Amuse, and continued the bacchanalia at Rohrer Ranch. A couple bourbons, couple beers, chicken, tejas toast, chocolate. It can't end well. I figure I'll continue indulging this weekend and pick things back up strong next week.

Harsh Realization

I realized something today that's been staring me in the face for a few weeks. I'm done with this. At least with the charade that I'll make 200 pounds in some short period of time. How do I know this? I'm cheating, and it's happening easier and easier each day. I stood up to the donuts a couple days ago, but I caved in a major way today. While sampling a 1/3 of a Paul's Donut, I didn't leave the break room until I'd scarfed 2 whole 'nuts. I told you it was like heroin.

It was a hard work week, and, for better or worse, I believe in rewards. I conquered this work week masterfully, crossed off a couple honey-do items, and felt the freedom to reward myself tonight. After killing two donuts in the span of a minute, a handful hours later I put a hurting a sixer of Legend Brown. On the plus side, my dinner consisted of a gardens worth of greens and a chicken breast. Perhaps I'm learning some good long-haul habits. Still, 200lbs hasn't fest so unobtainable since January 1.

I may take a vacation from this. Maybe a week or two, just to ditch the pressure for a couple weeks, come back renewed. I fully intend to meet my goal this year, but it feels like the wheels are spinning. Maybe this blog will gather dust. I'm just not sure.
