The End of Spring Training

Just like Baseball has an extended spring training to test things out before the real season starts, fat for now but soon to be thin bloggers have the same thing. During my spring training I found that I could blog and lose weight at a decent pace but now I am ready for the real season. Of course I didn't think I was in spring training until the tsunami of all dieting failures hit me and that of course was the cursed "Cruise" One would think that a man with my incredible will power could resist this tropical food storm, but I caved in worse than Rush Limbaugh at a Viagra convention. The cruise was "just" eight days, but my downfall started a week before since why diet when you know you are going to eat anyway. Well that did lead up to eight of the best eating days I ever had. If you don't count sleep and since when did sleep ever count, the meals were longer than the periods between the meals. And naturally as the expert dieter that I am, I knew that to get back to dieting, I had to ween myself off of eating enormous meals by taking the following week to eat just large meals with no exercise. It's a proven method believe me. And yes it worked. When I finally ended my three week interruption I found that I only gained nine pounds. Only three pounds a week as I like to look at it. So it was back to the diet and as I like to think of it, now on to the start of my regular season. And how did I do during my first week (of diet and exercise) of the regular season, you might ask? Glad you asked - better than Roger Clemons on steroids, I lost 6.4 pounds which even impressed the Weightwatcher lady with the large cleavage who takes my weight each week as I pretend to stare down at the counter. What a week.
