Well, folks...
Lately, things are rather sucking the big wazoo. My Ren faire weekends grow more and more difficult. This past Saturday, a friend baked me a batch of 20 black-bottom cupcakes (chocolate, cheesecake on top, chocolate chips!) I ended up giving them to friends, and donating the rest to a charity raffle--there was no way those things were going home with me! However, I did eat 2. Another friend made homemade caramel, a pan of which was sitting out for all of us to share. Did you know that, if eaten in tiny pieces throughout the day, caramel has no calories? I bet you didn't, and apparently, neither does my scale. Throw in the beer and mead I consumed on Sat and Sun, and you have a not-too-pretty picture of my consumption.
The good news is that yesterday and today I have been fine, recording my food on this site, and being really careful. However, this weekend is the last weekend of Faire, and I *know* that is going to involve some over-indulgence. The best I can do is be super good this week, accept the inevitable mess this weekend will probably be, and then go for a good long weight loss cycle until November. That should knock off the few pounds I have gained, plus a few more to get me to a comfortable resting point, preferably 190 or so.
Anyhoo, the struggle continues. Skinny vibes to one and all!
