My Saturday was spent in typical fashion out on the streets of Barretto. My morning walk looked like this:
My standard Saturday solo stroll of 7.5K. Well, last year, I’d finish at Sit-n-Bull, order food, and trike home. Now I don’t eat, and I walk back up the hill to my house.
For all the f’n good this diet of mine is doing me. I actually gained 2.3 pounds since last week’s weigh-in. Yeah, I haven’t been totally faithful to the low-carb plan, but I have sacrificed beer and ice cream for the most part and increased my average daily step count to no avail thus far (well, I am down a half pound since the first of the year). It’s frustrating, but I’m not giving up.
My evening bar crawl looked like this:
I walked to the far side of town to have a drink with Joy at Hideaway. Then walked back to Mango’s for some grub (a roast chicken salad). Next, I popped into Whiskey Girl, hoping to see my squeeze Jenn but she was out sick. I had a “buy one, take one” coupon to use, so I figured Queen Victoria would be my last stop of the night. Then I got a message from my pal Ron saying he was going to Snackbar and asked me to meet him there. And I did.I push the envelope occasionally, but I think I maintain pretty good control. I don’t drink early in the day and almost always quit before 9 p.m.My gin and soda routine. That’s one shot of gin in a tall glass, so it’s a pretty weak drink to begin with. After each sip, I further water it down by refilling the glass with soda until the can is empty. This is not to say I don’t catch a buzz by the end of the night. The difference between drinking gin and beer is staggering. *ahem*
Anyway, that’s what passes as excitement around here. I’ll be back to Hideaway tonight for the Sunday feeding, and we’ll see how things go from there.
I started this post with a joke, so I may as well end it with one.
Don’t be chicken to go outside without a mask!Although, putting a cover on the head of a cock is a proven birth control method.

You are the Road Whorrior. Watch out for Toe-Cutter.
Oh, and just a reminder that weight loss is much more about diet than about exercise. (I’m talking to myself as much as I’m talking to you.)
Did you read that link on Instapundit this morning saying skipping meals is not healthy? What’s your take on that? I know you are a fan of intermittent fasting.
No, I didn’t even see the link, but I already know I disagree. Skipping meals can give your body a break from digestion, metabolism, and fat storage. I suspect this is a “new” study that’s more trendy than substantive, but I’ll give it a look and see what the sample size was for it.
