Diet update

I haven't been talking about the diet much lately, because Teri and I have fallen off the wagon, seriously and often, lately.

This weekend, for example, we went to IHOP and I once again had chocolate chip pancakes with extra whipped cream, plus coffee with a lot of sugar and cream. For lunch I had weiners, onion rings, french fries, and Coke; I don't remember what I had for dinner that day, but on Sunday my dinner was six pigs in blankets (hot dog halves wrapped in crescent rolls) plus tater tots and chocolate milk. Oh, and lots of Ben & Jerrys vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup.

As a result I was fairly sick for a couple of days while my system purged itself. But on Monday I went back faithfully to the diet, and the pounds immediately started to melt away again. I don't seem to have gained much from my weekend binge - I just didn't lose any - and I've been losing pretty dramatically since. So here's the score:

Starting date: 7/10/2006
Original weight: 292.4
Goal weight: 199
Current weight: 264.2
Weight lost to date: 28.2

And all in less than two months, mind you! Of course, I've also been working out almost every day, except on weekends.

Lieberman, Lieberman, Lieberman

What an asshole.

I saw this from an article in the Journal Inquirer, "New Lieberman TV ad prompts rapid response from Lamont camp":

"The idea of the Lamont campaign posing as guardians of the truth has about as much receptivity as John Karr heading the FBI," [the Lieberman campaign spokesman] said, referring to the man who offered the now-discredited confession to killing JonBenet Ramsey.

"The Lamont campaign is showing its true colors by going negative in response to an advertisement pointing out their negativity," he added. "They couldn't make our point better for us."

I couldn't resist making a comment, and fortunately the site had a place for comments - although they don't seem to be visible to the public. Here's what I wrote:

Huh?!?

Let me get this straight. A Lieberman operative compares the Lamont campaign to a psychotic wannabe (if not actual) child molester, and then in the same breath complains about LAMONT'S negativity?!?

The hypocrisy is simply breathtaking. Does the Lieberman team really have that much contempt for the intelligence of Connecticut voters, or are they simply incompetent?

Nothing new, I suppose; and suddenly I wonder if my political rants are boring everyone to death. If so...maybe I should start a Politics filter?
