This is pretty funny -

My sister just called me and asked me about my recent alcohol consumption.

Since I don’t drink, I had no idea what she was talking about.

She had been reading my site and was confused to see ‘Alcohol’ listed in my latest update.

After assuring her that I haven’t started to hit the bottle, I went back and checked my ‘Fitday’ account, and I noticed that I had entered several grams of alcohol where I should have entered protein.

As you can imagine, I feel silly, so I’ve written this post to clear things up.  Thanks, Squirt!

Nope, I don’t drink.  My drugs of choice?  Krispy Kreme Donuts and Diet Mountain Dew!

Of course, when my little sister destroys me in the 5K we are scheduled to run, I might need a swig or two of something strong to ease the pain and humiliation.  I know!  REAL Mountain Dew - the hard stuff!

I have been away for a few days. I went to Atlanta, with my family, for a short mini-vacation. I will confess, I ate a lot more than I should have, but I haven’t ‘regained’ any weight. Frankly, I’m glad to be back home and back in my routine. I missed my workouts and my fruit! (Next time, I’ll try to do a better job of planning for the trip - taking some fruit with me, etc.)

I’m going to the gym in a few minutes…

I’m really, really, really looking forward to my interval training…

Did I just type that sentence? Exercise rocks!

I feel very sluggish and I’ve been researching “fasting”.  I think I might go a day without solid food and see how things go.  I’m not going to starve myself, but I want some time to spend in prayer - thinking about the next few months and focusing on losing weight.  I’ve got a buddy who might join me here at No. Calories Needed for a little weight-loss challenge - he’s going to let me know in a few days - and I want to be in a decent frame of mind.  I’ll probably have water and a little fruit juice - and spend most of the day in the Word and prayer.  I am ready to lose weight, but I think a need to take a day and “forget” about food.  I don’t want to have to worry about meals or meal planning - I think I just want to chill, have a mini-fast, and focus on moving forward.  I’ll check in tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
